Form & Verdict
Turf wins at 5f and 7f on soft; has raced over those trips and 6f to no avail this year but he ran better than the bare result on yard debut in a Racing League race at Southwell (6f) last week, hampered early then raced wide from high draw but kept on; due 2lb drop but he's already 12lb lower than his October win last year; cheekpieces return; interesting.

Quickly coaxed back to form by James Owen last year, winning 6f handicaps at Kempton (twice) and Chester; struggled on dirt in the Middle East over the winter but his mark dropped quickly and he ran well back on turf in Abu Dhabi in March; returned to Britain with an emphatic success at Leicester (6f, good to firm) eight days ago; today's 8lb higher mark should still be in range but the drop to 5f is a slight query.

J: David Probert

T: James Owen

Had ups and downs since showing decent form earlier in career and was well treated when starting out for this trainer in 2025, winning three of his last four 6f starts on AW and turf; went down only narrowly back on turf (good to firm; headgear left off) in UAE during March and he's of interest now back with former yard.

Form & Verdict
Consistent over 6f on turf, and he ran another sound race when a close third of nine at Haydock (first-time tongue-tie, retained) in July, but proving hard to win with off highish mark; 0-3 on AW but that was when qualifying and with two AW-winning siblings the return to sand could suit.

Both wins have come here (6f/7f), the latest two starts ago; kept on for 2l fifth of 12 over C&D last time on her first crack at 1m and can better that performance when getting a stronger gallop, but there are doubts on that score this afternoon.

Can race freely and isn't the only potential pace influence here, but confidence in her restored by last month's Kempton rout (6f); hiked beyond any winning mark again, but goes on anything and this dual Ffos Las scorer won't fail for the return to a galloping track.
