Campaigned over 7f of late, generally leaving the impression he needs a return to 6f; has gained both wins at this distance and he's very attractively treated off current mark; respected.

Inconsistent and soundly beaten back on turf at Doncaster this month; however, this two-time turf winner was runner-up at Kempton (7f, AW) two starts ago and is not discounted off a dangerous mark.

Recorded sole success in 6f AW event last November; below par kept to that sphere in 2026 and remains inconsistent for current stable; not the percentage call.

Trainer off the mark in the week with another who was formerly under the charge of Stuart Kittow; this three-time AW winner made it 0-10 on turf when some way off the front three on comeback (won first time out last season); needs a deal more.

Winning reappearance on AW in 2025 and there's other evidence that shows he goes well fresh; however, he's 0-9 on turf and is hard to weigh up, having left Stuart Kittow since some so-so runs in the autumn.

Dual AW winner (6f); fitted with cheekpieces and just held by the Michael Dods-trained Call Me Betty at Carlisle (6f, good to soft) 18 days ago; raised 1lb since but merits consideration with sterner headgear (blinkers) entering the equation.

Two 6f wins on AW and he's continued in reasonable form since the latest of them in October; has a 5lb lower turf mark but he didn't come up with much on grass last summer and this is the first time he's worn headgear.

0-10, but made a promising return from 181 days off when second of seven at Nottingham (6f, good) last month; each-way claims if as effective on AW debut.

Unexposed 4yo who won over C&D on handicap debut earlier this month on first run over 6f (previous runs had been at 7f/1m); this looks a tougher race and is 5lb higher, but should improve.

Finished sixth in a 7f Curragh maiden on his 2yo debut, a race where the five to beat him ended 2025 rated 126, 103, 94, 67 and 92; left Dermot Weld for 6,000gns last summer and he has finished out the back in two 1m runs here this winter; drops in trip for his handicap debut; betting useful.

C&D win was sole 7f success among eight others over 6f; however, he stayed on well and only just failed to get up over Newcastle's stiff 6f in April so a good run isn't impossible in first 7f run since March 2025.
