Form & Verdict
Won two in a row over C&D last September (good to soft/soft) and returned to form with very close fourth at Southwell (6f, AW) in April on his second start of the season; slow ground would be a major boost to his claims.

Versatile regarding the ground; useful form when beating an improver at Hamilton (6f, soft) in September but his best turf handicap form is on that track and has more to prove following an Ayr defeat since.

Form & Verdict
Two 5f wins last October (good/AW) and runner-up over that trip on last two starts (good/good to firm), finishing well each time and shaping as though this return to 6f is well worth exploring; could play a leading role if conditions suit; best turf efforts have come on good/good to firm.

Beaten a neck at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March on third stable start then went one better at Southwell (7f, AW); won on turf at the Curragh (6f, soft) last March and this stiff 6f could be a good fit; she's one to consider, especially if slow ground prevails.

His losing sequence goes back 16 races to May 2024 and his form has gone the wrong way; however, he's dropped to a dangerous mark and ran respectably when fifth of nine over 7f at Ayr a fortnight ago (11-8 favourite), when shaping as though the return to 6f may help; not ruled out.
