Course win (5f, good) last July; arrives in top form, winning Class 5 events at Bath and Newbury (5f, firm and good to firm) this summer; 2lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

Ran twice over C&D last summer and performed with great credit on both occasions, finishing second to Faustus in July and filling the same position one month later; career-best effort when winning at Bath last week (5f, firm); penalty demands more but he can't be discounted.

Four 5f turf wins for this yard in 2025 and in good form this summer, doing well to get as close as she did from the widest draw at Chester two starts ago; however, she's 0-5 on the AW and it may be significant that she hasn't run on sand since March 2025.

Not been with Chris Gordon for long and he has run two good races for the yard, finishing second at Windsor before getting the better of Washington Heir over 5.3f here 16 days ago; whether he can prove quite so effective over 6f remains to be seen.
