Looks well treated on this year's AW form but failed to transfer it back to turf (in Group 3) last time when bidding for a 6f hat-trick, and still has a weaker strike-rate in this sphere; bit to prove back at 7f and doesn't look the percentage call.

Dead-heated with Diligent Harry in Listed grade to complete a Lingfield 6f double in January and take AW record to 4-8; effective when fresh but is by no means certain to transfer the improvement back to turf; only 1-9 in this sphere; tongue-tie applied.

Good strike-rate on AW includes a Listed sprint double at Lingfield this year; has lots of good form on turf, including very close third in this race two years ago and respectable fourth in Newmarket Group 3 last time; still a maiden (0-19) in this sphere, however.

Smart on turf but AW is his thing and he added another Listed win to his tally when dead-heating in the Kachy Stakes (6f) here three weeks ago; has a penalty to shoulder but that was also the case when he won the corresponding race in 2024 (run at Southwell); a lower draw would have been preferable but he looks set to go well again.

Form & Verdict
6f AW win on his 2yo debut; took his form to another level when winning the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes at York on his latest start; that was 526 days ago but the form was strong and he's an intriguing runner; market strength would be encouraging.

Won the Gimcrack as a 2yo (Group 2; form worked out well); better than ever on AW earlier in the year, making most in a 7f Listed event at Wolverhampton in March; 15-2 fourth favourite for a York Group 2 ten days ago but found nothing when asked for his effort, eventually coming home in his own time; has the ability to go well despite a penalty but he does have a point to prove all of a sudden.

6f AW win on his 2yo debut; took his form to another level when winning the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes at York; returned from a 526-day absence with a good third in a 6f Listed race at Lingfield five weeks ago and he should be sharper today; drawn widest back up at 7f but still a leading contender.

Good record on AW; as good as ever this year, finishing fourth (behind Cool Hoof Luke) in a Listed race at Lingfield five weeks ago and then second in a handicap back at Lingfield last week; stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust (one turf attempt saw him finish tailed off) but he hasn't got much to find on form.

Promising 2yo and his 6f win at Wolverhampton in December was an impressive one; went off fast in a 7f handicap back at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day and didn't get home; remains a sprinter of interest and almost certainly still well handicapped but he is taking on much higher-rated rivals here.
