Form & Verdict
Eight-race maiden but knocking at the door, not beaten far when fourth of eight at Newbury (1m, good to firm) 16 days ago; yet to prove he stays 1m2f (faded on only attempt) but has more going for him than most.

Both wins have been over 1m2f on good to soft, with the most recent coming at Doncaster in September after the first past the post was disqualified for a banned substance; well beaten at Newbury on his return but this is a drop in grade.

2-13, his latest success coming off this mark at Doncaster (1m2f, good to soft) last September after the first past the post was disqualified for a banned substance; off seven months but has gone well fresh before; each-way possibilities.

Form & Verdict
Having only fourth run when a never-nearer fourth of nine on handicap debut at Doncaster (1m, good) last week; that run suggested he'll be at least as effective over this longer trip and he commands respect.

The winner of one of his 15 starts, namely an 8.3f handicap at Nottingham last June (tongue tied first time); 2lb lower today after a quiet end to 2025; goes without any accessories this time but he ran well on his reappearance last spring and Henry Callan is a positive booking.

Hasn't beaten many rivals in three novice runs (1m-1m3f) at big odds, and on the face of it the handicapper has hardly let him in lightly; however, he has more realistic claims now handicapping in first-time headgear.

Very consistent in turf handicaps at up to 1m4f, winning once and runner-up on four other occasions; offered enough to think he's still in form when 2l fourth of six at Newmarket (1m2f) three weeks ago; showed promise on AW at start of his career; ought to be on the premises again.

Promising fourth at 200-1 at Kempton (7f, AW) in January but has not gone close to repeating the form; difficult to recommend but his mark is falling and it's possible this longer trip will suit (mixed messages from pedigree); worth monitoring in the market.

Four-time AW winner who is 0-6 on turf but his 40-1 second of 13 at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) was a good effort in May and he backed it up when third to Sterling Knight over that C&D (good) a fortnight later; sole start on good to soft (1m2f) last year was inconclusive but he'll do well to defy this career-high mark.

Campaigned over a variety of distances in his short career to date; last month's second of five over 1m6f at Yarmouth felt like a step in the right direction and the winner passed the post first again next time (demoted); should be fine back at 1m2f; might be the answer.
