J: Hector Crouch

T: James Tate

Won a valuable pot as a 2yo; slow to come to hand as a 3yo but he changed yards last summer and made an impressive winning return from a gelding operation last September (6f, good to soft; cheekpieces on for the first time); fine reappearance when third in the Listed Cammidge Trophy at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; raised 3lb for his troubles and still has to prove his stamina for 7f.

J: Hector Crouch

T: James Tate

Useful 2yo who returned to form to win handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last autumn on second run for James Tate; however, he was no threat off his revised mark at Southwell (AW debut) on return, and he looks up against it in this higher grade.

Form & Verdict
Three of his four wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2022 and 2024; only 1lb higher than for last year's success and he has run really well at Ripon in two of his last three starts; would be of major interest were it not for the prospect of slow going (just about handles good to soft but all his best form on good or quicker).

Five visits here have resulted in three wins and two places, all at 6f; made an encouraging return when fourth of nine at Ripon three weeks ago and he's slipped to a dangerous mark; tempting.

All of his four wins have been at Yarmouth (6f, good/good to firm) and latest was in September 2024; well treated on old form but he had a mixed record last season and was well held in the autumn on his final two runs; has a bit to prove after six months off and others are preferred.

7yo who has run some good races in defeat this season, finishing third of 17 at Ripon (6f, good to firm) in August and 3l second of five at Yarmouth (6f, good to soft) last time; this front-runner can make a bold bid.

Promise in one run for Eve Johnson Houghton one year ago; returned for new yard with a Catterick maiden win (6f, good to soft) and better form when defying a penalty at Doncaster in June (6f, good to firm); flopped at Ayr on his handicap debut in July but at only 4-1 in a big field and capable of bouncing back.

Lightly raced 4yo who won maiden/novice races on turf last May/June and was a promising fourth of 14 at Newcastle (6f, AW) in March on his stable debut; however, not quite at the same level there (6f) since and he's up in grade this afternoon; others are more compelling.

All races at 6f; progressive 2yo who ended the season with a novice win at Leicester (heavy) but he's had a very slow start to 2025 and has been gelded since last seen in May; some questions to answer over new trip.
