Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf but he's capable of useful 6f form on grass and made short work of his rivals at Bath (extended 5f, good) last week; now 6lb higher but this mark isn't beyond him on past exploits; would have welcomed rain but still considered.

2yo Listed runner-up in September 2024 for Richard Fahey; 0-9 last year but has a dangerous mark to work with on his first start for a new trainer, who can do well with recruits from other yards (remains in the same ownership); interesting, all the more so if attracting market support.

J: Callum Rodriguez

Lightly raced 3yo whose two wins have come on the AW, looking well ahead of his mark at Wolverhampton (6f) on the latter occasion in July; however, his earlier turf handicap runs suggest he's no good thing to justify a 7lb rise now tackling ground slower than good to firm for the first time.

Listed winner (5f/6f) for his previous yards and he's run respectably in two 5f handicaps for his new trainer this spring; needs to find some extra spark but he's edging down the weights and this step back up in trip looks a good move.
