Form & Verdict
Likes to push the pace and seems versatile ground-wise; his win over slightly shorter here (good) was the middle leg of a summer hat-trick last year and it was a fine effort when close third in Listed Flying Scotsman at Doncaster in September; has a good stall to go forward but his no-show on return to turf (66-1; drawn wide) a fortnight ago needs glossing over.

2-2 in nurseries last July (7f, good/heavy) and close Listed fifth at Lingfield (7f, AW) this February; has top weight in this hot handicap but 7lb claimer is recruited and the step up to nearly 1m may help.

Form & Verdict
Promise when placed in both starts last year (good to soft and soft) but it was much his best effort when cheekpieces and/or AW sparked a win in Kempton novice (7f) 17 days ago; handicapper didn't miss that but still warrants plenty of respect on his debut in this sphere.

Two promising runs as a juvenile, at 7f and about 1m, but they were on good to soft and soft ground and he may have been feeling the good to firm surface when hanging under pressure on his Leicester return; should be capable of much better; cheekpieces fitted.

No wins since a 10-1 success on his debut at Ayr about a year ago but he was set some tall orders for the remainder of last term and his reappearance/handicap debut here (also 6f, good) was encouraging; didn't build on that next time, though, and he's just 1lb lower.

Won 6f debut at Ayr as 2yo but highly tried and found wanting for the rest of 2025; however, he did well to be a close fifth of 12 on his handicap debut at Chester (6f, good) this month, considering he was drawn high and raced wide for much of the way; thereabouts off the same mark.

Odds-on when going close on his July debut and he wasted no time getting off the mark at York (also 7f, good; made all) in September on his second start; extended mile possibly stretched him when last of three at Hamilton on last month's return and he still carries potential into this handicap debut; considered.

Plenty of promise on his final two starts as a juvenile and he'd been gelded when reappearing with Kempton novice win (7f, AW) in February; suffered from a lack of daylight but still only beaten 2l on his handicap debut (good to soft) in April and he was just pegged at Newmarket (again 1m, good to firm) six weeks ago; likely capable of better again.

Verdict

Masked Warrior, Penny Time and Proud Nation are interesting handicap debutants with it no surprise if the latter, in particular, gave it a good go. Jeddaal (second choice), Comic Hero and STARTLED already have solid form in this sphere, however, and Richard Hughes’ progressive gelding is selected to pick it up late for a fourth win.[Richard Russell]
