Form & Verdict
Frankel colt who fetched 900,000gns as a yearling; relatively weak in the market and too green to do himself justice when 16l fifth of nine at Sandown (1m, good; 10-1) last month; improvement is possible but necessary.

Sole Flat win came in 2023 although has mostly been competing over hurdles in recent times; improved markedly over poor Navan seasonal return when fourth at Roscommon (1m4f, good), staying on after slowly away; below that at the Curragh last time; on career low mark.

Opened account at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) in September, coming from off the pace for a clearcut success; last month's seasonal debut at Windsor was no better than satisfactory, but he might fare better now back on a stiff track and with that outing under his belt.

Form & Verdict
Very green early but gradually got the hang of things when under 4l fourth of nine at Ripon (1m, good to firm; 9-2) last month; the bare form is modest but it would be no surprise if he improved markedly; respected.

Well-bred colt (dam a half-sister to the Derby second Walk In The Park) who made an encouraging start when second of 14 at Chelmsford (7f, AW; 7-2) three weeks ago, keeping on well; today's longer trip should suit and he's probably the one to beat.

Form dipped at Wolverhampton three weeks ago but he is normally consistent on AW and could well rebound; back on career-low mark and holds a good chance if taking well to new headgear (tongue-tie and blinkers replace hood/cheekpieces).

0-9 since his novice win here (8.6f) last September but he's reached the frame in last three runs and was beaten less than 2l behind See You Boy at Lingfield (7f) last week; hasn't had much luck with the draw again but he shouldn't be far away.
