Form & Verdict
Built upon very promising debut (7f) when keeping on well for clearcut success at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) last month; can probably improve again on this return to 7f and has a big role to play.

9st 5lb

J: Sean Levey

T: Richard Hannon

Lightly raced 3yo; faded after being pestered for the lead in German Group 2 in May, but he'd previously posted a personal best when second to the high-class Talk Of New York in conditions race at Newmarket (7f, good) on reappearance; bred to stay at least 1m; makes handicap debut and might have been let in lightly.

Form & Verdict
Showed his inexperience on debut but looked much more streetwise at Kempton (7f, AW) in June, drawing clear inside final furlong for a ready success; can probably improve again and commands respect.

J: Sean Levey

T: Tom Ward

Scored on his AW debut here (7f) in June 2025; has been campaigned exclusively on turf since and won at Goodwood (7f, good) last October; hasn't been in the same form this year and is tried in new headgear (cheekpieces); well-handicapped if he can get his act together back on AW.

Has failed to improve for a visor but ran respectably last time and is nicely treated assuming the switch to blinkers works a treat; gained sole handicap win off 4lb higher last October.

J: Sean Levey

T: Tom Ward

Won twice over 7f on good/AW last year; reappeared with a promising fourth at Newbury in May, but he hasn't matched that form in three starts since; now drops back in grade but he needs to turn things around.

Form & Verdict
Kept on from unpromising position to snatch never-dangerous second behind useful rival at Brighton (6f, good) in May; not seen again since and has a bit to find with the two last-time-out winners in this field but has very obvious scope for improvement.

J: Sean D Bowen

T: Jamie Osborne

Recorded his best effort since his debut when coming off a hold-up ride to score at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) latest; a 4lb rise and step up in grade will make this tougher but he's not ruled out.

Debut second at Brighton was promising but he hasn't progressed since, including when 11th of 14 on his nursery debut two weeks ago (7f, AW; blinkered first time); dropped 4lb but others look more persuasive.

J: Paddy Bradley

T: Rod Millman

Lightly raced filly but she's been well held in most of her runs including when a 12l fifth in Lingfield handicap (7f, good; blinkers added) last month; that was after eighth months off but she needs improvement on this drop into a classified event.
