6f win in Bahrain in April; shaped well at Chester (5f, good) on his return to Britain and again when tenth in the Wokingham, a race where he would have finished closer with a clear run; looks the type to win a nice prize this year but his low draw may be a disadvantage.

Has done a lot of his racing over 6f and found his stamina coming into play late when winning a handicap run to suit over C&D three weeks ago; no complaints about a 2lb rise for that but this looks a bit stronger.

On a losing run but he got right back on track with fourth of 17 in handicap at Ascot (5f) last month; can go well off an unchanged mark.

Form & Verdict
Only 1lb higher than for his win at York's Ebor meeting (5.4f, good to firm) last August; Windsor fourth in May was promising and the Wokingham was always going to be a tough task latest; not dismissed.

Useful form at a less competitive level in 2025, following 6f wins last June with one in a valuable York race (extended 5f, good to firm) in August; kept on well after being slightly checked in his run at Windsor in May but he has more to prove over this stiff 6f on course debut.

Form & Verdict
Did well for Stuart Williams in the second half of 2025; solid efforts on his first two runs this year before taking his form to new heights with a runaway win at Windsor (6f, good to firm); hit with an 8lb rise for that but it was a good time and there is no suggestion he was flattered; promising apprentice takes off 5lb; one to consider.

Narrow 6f defeat at Chepstow last August but his next two runs at the trip were a failure and kept to shorter since, winning at Haydock (good to soft) in September; two respectable efforts at 5f this year (no aids latest) don't suggest this mark is ripe for plucking back at 6f, though.

Won a 5f handicap (good to soft; first time in tongue-tie/cheekpieces combination) at Haydock last September off a 6lb lower mark; stayed on for second behind the impressive Lexington Blitz at Goodwood on last month's return; withdrawn at York two weeks ago having got upset in the stalls (9-1 at the time of withdrawal); the more rain the better; no accessories today.
