Form & Verdict
Dual Nottingham winner; acts on soft, unraced on heavy; shot back to some form when storming home in an amateur riders' race at Bath (11.5f, good to soft) last month; well below form next time (1m6f, which he stays) but Henry Callan galvanised him to a 1m4f win at Newbury (soft) on Saturday; sole attempt at 1m2f was in 2021 but he had to hold on at Newbury after going clear and his appearance over this trip with 4lb penalty no longer looks ridiculous.

Sole success came at Windsor (11.4f, heavy) in October 2024 and ended the last campaign with a fair second of seven at Nottingham (1m2f, soft); off six months and has run well fresh, but others still make greater appeal.

Form & Verdict
He's struggled to get competitive for three different yards this year, despite tumbling in the weights; having only his second go for Ryan Potter today and finished 44l adrift six days ago when co-favourite here (1m, heavy) on first attempt for him, albeit after a slow start; not often seen over this far; it will be interesting to see if his backers return.

Form & Verdict
0-10; not proven on soft; reached the frame at up to 1m2f in all his six handicaps when with Andrew Balding, in headgear on last four of those; changed hands for 8,000gns in July and ninth of ten in amateurs race (18-1) on yard debut, so some headgear returns; others are more persuasive.
