81-rated on the Flat; made a smooth winning hurdles (and stable) debut at Newton Abbot (2m1f, good; 2-5 favourite, beating a previous winner); carries a penalty but, if returning in the same kind of form, ought to prove tough to beat.

Gelded and tongue tied when justifying favouritism in five-runner handicaps over 1m3f on Kempton AW this February and April; raced a bit freely and never got into it when back to turf at Chester (1m4f, good; second favourite) 16 days ago but not at all discredited and it's possible he may resume his progress; cheekpieces go on.

Free-going juvenile maiden who signed off with a respectable fourth of six in 1m1f nursery at Newmarket in November; this son of Camelot has since been gelded and it would come as no surprise to see him take a step forward on his Polytrack debut.

11 races overall, improved in blinkers this summer; that includes his narrow win in a small field at Newbury and second at Glorious Goodwood (both 1m3f on good to firm) before he took sixth of 17 from out the back when 50-1 for the Melrose at York (1m6f, good to soft); firmly in the picture.

Carried his head high in blinkers for last two starts but he challenged to win on the nod in a five-runner handicap at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) last time, getting off the mark at the ninth attempt; up 3lb and into a much more competitive race, he could still be thereabouts but others make more appeal for win purposes.

Ended 2025 on the up with 1m Newcastle victory, and resumed after four months off (gelded) with an excellent second of five to Moment Of Light over C&D 35 days ago; enjoys a 6lb pull in the weights here so not taken lightly.

Won two five-runner races over 1m4f on good to firm in July, since which it's looked as if the handicapper has had his measure; still managed second on last two outings and although he needs to find a bit extra, it's possible that he's now ready for this first venture much beyond 1m4f.
