On a good mark on his 2yo best and he has been far from discredited on his last four outings, including third of seven at Carlisle (6f, good) latest; should be competitive if the outside stall isn't too big of an inconvenience.

Made all for 6f maiden win as 2yo; best form of 2026 when second of six at Sandown (7f) last month but he didn't repeat it there next time on return from wind surgery and has had a few chances off similar marks now.

Matched the pick of his 2yo form when second over C&D (good to firm) last month but he was beaten 4.5l so needs to build on that; has subsequently had wind surgery; Oisin Murphy was on board last time but seemingly prefers Desert Shadow on this occasion.

6f Hamilton winner on good ground under Oisin Murphy as a 2yo; however, never figured on Epsom reappearance (7f, good to soft; first-time cheekpieces) and subsequent Ffos Las second offers no proof that he's trained on given he was beaten 11l; Murphy is back on board now but it's not enough to tempt.

Made it two wins from his five starts when landing Haydock nursery (6f, good to firm) last month; merely mid-division at York since but in a hotter race than this; has shown promise on good to soft; has a chance.
