Form & Verdict
Inconsistent in his seven handicaps but he's won two of them; gelded before his successful return at Southwell (1m3f, AW) three weeks ago, when asserting by about 2l in six-runner race; 4lb higher today but probably okay on turf and has to be considered seriously.

Disappointing at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but prior to that he was 2-2 since being gelded, with convincing wins at Southwell (1m3f, AW) and Hamilton (1m3f, good); could bounce back.

Second on good to firm last June (much better form since); well held when upped to 1m4f for a hot handicap on final start last season; gelded subsequently and won over 1m3f at Southwell (AW) and Hamilton (good; by 5l in good style) in his two races this term; up 8lb and into a much tougher contest, back at 1m4f, but maybe he's putting it all together now.

Form & Verdict
Held up; exposed 6yo who is 6-27 on AW surfaces but 1-13 on turf; however, that solitary turf win was over C&D (2024) and he wasn't far away back on turf for last three outings; case can be made.

Slow starter whose losing run goes back 17 races to March 2025; however, he went down by only a nose over C&D (good) last month and was caught too far back in a Class 2 at Ayr since; bold show likely with his sights lowered.

Often a slow starter; couldn't get into it at Carlisle (1m3f, good to firm) a fortnight ago but runner-up twice in a row at Hamilton (1m5f/1m3f, good) before that; could be involved if today's race pans out favourably.

Often a front-runner; 3-7 on AW but he's 0-4 on turf and latest third to Elsass at Hamilton (1m3f, good) was no more than respectable; untested on good to soft or worse but his pedigree may given some encouragement, as his dam is closely related to outstanding performer Enable whose 15 wins included the 2017 Oaks over C&D and four of her Group 1 wins were on softer than good.

Eight of his nine wins have been on the AW, including a hat-trick in February last year; pulled too hard when well beaten last time but had run two sound races ar Redcar prior to that (1m2f, good to firm); worth considering from his inside draw.

Form & Verdict
Five races, all last term and ridden by Paul Mulrennan in four; easily best form when he came from last to be a close third of seven in Listed event at Hamilton (1m3f, good; 150-1) in July; 25-1 and tongue tied when tailed off in the November Handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, heavy) and he's also now had wind surgery; this is just his second handicap and there's a strong sense of unfinished business.
