She's struggled to get competitive in handicaps since her Listed near-miss at Bath (5f, good) in April but she's dropped down the weights and the return to slow ground could prove to be a major plus; not ruled out.

Four wins on extremes of going in 2025, including over C&D, but she surpassed them all in form terms when just losing out in a Listed race at Bath in April; had a rough ride from the handicapper as a result and she's found it all too much since; up against it.

Two 6f wins on AW this year and a good fourth of 16 at Ascot (good to firm) in May, finding plenty in the closing stages, showed he can be competitive off this mark; stayed 7f well enough at York since and gelded after; a stiffer test at 6f might be preferable but the strong pace will suit.

Style of racing leaves him a hostage to fortune but he has the ability to win a big prize when things pan out favourably; latest C&D second has been well advertised since and he wasn't well drawn there; 2lb rise should be fine and he has form on slow ground; one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Three wins in 6f handicaps, including over C&D (good; also won on soft); he hasn't distinguished himself on the AW this spring but he returns to turf on a 3lb lower mark than a Salisbury success in September so can prepare for a revival.

Went off the rails in 2024 following a C&D win (good) last July but he's out of the tunnel now, following a Newmarket win with a ready one at Haydock (both 6f; good to firm and good); back up a total of 10lb but he's made his mark in handicaps off higher marks than this in the past; every chance of the hat-trick.

Following a two-month break he returned to form and landed a gamble in reapplied cheekpieces (retained) at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last Thursday; he's never finished better than seventh on turf and the surface switch is a concern, but he'll be tough to beat if reproducing anything like his latest form.
