Listed winner here (7f, good) in May 2024 and he looked better than ever when a head runner-up in the Group 3 Strensall Stakes at York (1m1f, good to firm; led) last month on his first run beyond 1m; the handicapper has reacted but he's unexposed at the trip and could produce another bold show.

Low-mileage 5yo who won for Sean Woods on his belated debut at Thirsk (1m, good) last July; not blatantly well treated on the balance of his form (including 1m2f/1m1f handicaps) but now makes his debut for a top trainer having changed hands for 65,000gns; has to be of strong interest.

Easily made all in small field on the other Newmarket course (1m, good to firm) last month on his second handicap start; after a 10lb rise he ran well when fourth of 11 to Tribal Chief at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) last time and further improvement is possible but necessary this afternoon.

Went off the boil on his final three runs last season but made the frame three times in a row in quality 1m handicaps last summer (good to firm/soft) and he's on a handy mark on that form; perhaps a break and/or the first-time visor will prompt a revival and his stable is in excellent form.
