Denied clear run when placed off today's mark on this month's handicap debut at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) and did not need to improve to make all at skinny odds in 7f course maiden (good) 11 days ago; obvious contender.

7f maiden winner in May and held his own in handicaps until a poor last run, since when he's been gelded; entitled to play a part if back to best.

On the up since joining current yard, landing 7f Lingfield maiden (good) in May before he was beaten two short heads at Chester (7.5f, soft) a fortnight ago; runner-up was a convincing winner at Carlisle on Wednesday; up 2lb and he's a big player if this drop back down to 6f proves no barrier.

Form & Verdict
Won two AW nurseries in November (1m/7f) and began this campaign with two respectable runs in competitive 1m turf handicaps; the most exposed runner in the line-up but sure to appreciate this ease in grade.

Kept on well to prevail by a head against her own sex at Catterick (7f, good) nine days ago and now 2-2 in handicaps; another 3lb higher over a slightly longer trip but is probably still improving; has big role to play.

Four 7f handicap wins on good/good to firm since May; travelled well in lead for long way when third of six off this mark at Newbury (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago; three of her wins were gained at sharp Cattrerick and she could be speedy enough to cope with a drop back to 6f.

Posted most encouraging of three qualifying runs when keeping-on fourth at Kempton (7f, AW) in October; has fitness to prove after seven-month absence but should have more improvement to come in handicaps at some stage this season.

Stable won this in 2023 and 2024; off the mark over 7f and needed all of this trip to follow up over C&D last month, defying a 7lb rise; now has another 6lb to contend with but she looks progressive.

May have needed the run when down the field on her seasonal/handicap debut in May; took a good step forward with her win at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago; up 7lb and stamina for 1m has to be taken on trust but she still has time on her side.

Beaten 6l when fifth of six on seasonal/handicap debut at Lingfield (7.6f, good to firm) in May but might have needed the run; showed promise on final 2yo outing and she's bred to be better than this mark; interesting.

Absent 289 days after winning Chester maiden (7f, good) last summer and made no more than a respectable seasonal/handicap debut when midfield at Windsor (1m, good to firm) this month; needs that recent outing to have brought him on.

A fair 7f juvenile winner; largely running with credit this season and not seen to ideal effect when 12th in 1m Kempton handicap two weeks ago, racing wide; a likely player from a slipping mark for yard among the winners.
