J: Rossa Ryan

T: Simon Dow

Won at Bath (1m, good) in May on third start for new yard and completed the hat-trick at Epsom (1m2f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; had just a neck to spare last time but he's just 3lb higher today and there can be optimism that this smooth-travelling 3yo still has more left in the tank.

Placed on his first two starts for this yard before opening his account at Bath (1m, good) last month, leading in the final strides; more to do off 3lb higher on return to AW but may have more to give.

Gained a deserved second success of 2026 in 1m1f handicap at Nottingham six days ago, edging out Katalyst; shoulders a 6lb penalty now but this reliable sort must enter calculations.

His two wins have come over 1m at Bath, the more recent coming off a 3lb lower mark in April; runner-up on his last three starts and no obvious reason why he wouldn't be in the thick of it.

Only modest form shown in her four runs to date; went freely when a reappearance fourth of seven on her turf/handicap debut at Epsom (1m2f) 18 days ago; can build on it here in a refitted hood.
