Form & Verdict
Creditable fourth at Haydock (good) in sole start this term; frame possibilities off same mark and chance would get even stronger if the ground is soft (all wins on that surface).

Ran well when fifth of 18 at York (1m, good) three weeks ago on his second start of the season; his four wins (one here) have come on soft going so slower ground today would aid his cause; could be a contender.

Second of 14 off 1lb higher behind Thunder Roar at Ayr (1m) last September on his favoured soft ground, and didn't run badly when 4l 11th of 21 in the Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) on his reappearance; however, others have more compelling credentials.

Triple winner for Alice Haynes including over C&D; went the wrong way in five runs for Hugo Palmer last season but she reappeared with a creditable third on stable debut at Musseburgh (1m, good) last month; that was off 2lb lower than for her last success and has claims if she can back that up.

Lightly raced last year and ended the season quietly, but she is 2lb below her last winning mark and, although off six months, she can go well fresh; well worth a market check now starting out for another new yard.

His losing sequence goes back 16 races to May 2024 and his form has gone the wrong way; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and ran respectably when fifth of nine over 7f at Ayr a fortnight ago (11-8 favourite), when shaping as though the return to 6f may help; not ruled out.

Went off the boil towards the end of last season and also below his best on last month's reappearance at Musselburgh, taking his losing sequence to 15; however, this two-time C&D winner may have needed that latest outing and he's well handicapped on last year's best course form; not ruled out.
