Lightly raced on turf; out of the frame in five starts since winning at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in January; has plenty to prove over this trip back on grass and is 3lb out of the weights.

Won here (7f) off 1lb higher in January when trained by Jane Chapple-Hyam; posted easily his most encouraging display since joining current yard when a keeping-on sixth of 13 at Southwell (1m, AW) 20 days ago; steps up in trip on a career-low mark and must come into consideration.

Promise in AW novices and again when third of ten at Doncaster on her handicap debut last June (7f, good); disappointed at Yarmouth the following month and absent since; has undergone wind surgery during his layoff; drops in class, up in trip and tongue tied for his return; still has potential.

Improved with each of three 6f races and it looked more a case of just needing the run than lack of stamina when a close third of ten on handicap debut at Doncaster (7f, good) in June; respected off the same mark.

Sole success came in a Kempton AW novice in December 2024; has been beaten in eight handicaps since, latest when a place behind Nakaaha when third of six at Bath (1m, firm) last month; no margin for error off this mark but should find a race soon.

AW form features his sole win, as a 2yo, and close second at Chelmsford when last seen; by mo means certain to go one better, with turf record (76537) not totally convincing.

Gained last season's win over 1m2f and made an encouraging reappearance when finishing strongly for close fourth over 7f at Chepstow (good to soft) last month; sure to be suited by this move back up in trip and remains on a workable mark; shortlisted.

Took her Chepstow record to 2-4 when seeing off five rivals over 1m2f last July but her form dipped at the end of the year; races over short of 1m for the first time in five years on her reappearance and a watching brief is the call despite her good record here.

Sole win from his 20 races was an AW maiden in January; has a form chance judged on peak efforts (turf and AW) but he was comfortably held on last three outings (gelded before latest) and does not look the percentage call.

Put his experience to good use at Chelmsford in January and nearly rallied to win at Lingfield the following month (both 1m); not as potent in three runs since and will turn up here having been gelded; stall 12 tricky given he likes to race prominently.

Placed three consecutive times at Bath before justifying favouritism in four-runner race there (1m, firm) 19 days ago; nudged up only 2lb for that but this race is much deeper; others appeal more.
