T: Ruth Carr

Tends to lead; hit the ground running by winning his first four starts for Ruth Carr last year; plenty of good efforts followed including when he beat 18 others to score at York (6f, good to firm) in June; now 2lb below that last winning mark so a handicapping case to be made, but he did not sustain his effort when finishing well held at York a fortnight ago.

Enthusiastic front-runner who shone for Ruth Carr in 2025, winning five 6f handicaps (including a defeat of Jonny Concrete here on good to firm); creditable in-frame efforts on two of three starts this year without necessarily suggesting he's ready to strike again.

Enthusiastic front-runner who shone for Ruth Carr in 2025, winning five 6f handicaps (including here on good to firm); encouraging seasonal return at Catterick (6f, good) last month and likely remains in better form than his subsequent Ripon ninth might suggest as he was second home on his side.
