J: Harry Davies

Looked back in prime form at Newmarket on his last two outings when coming from the rear to win over 1m4f and 1m6f; the latter was by a short head but against a respected opponent and perhaps good to soft ground was not ideal when he took sixth at 40-1 in this race last year.

Form & Verdict
Has done well over 1m4f-1m6f on turf this term, winning three times from six starts; latest win came easily at this track (1m6f, good to firm) in June and he's 7lb higher today; tailing off so badly at Southwell four weeks ago may be offputting but he came last in 2025 in his only other AW race, so perhaps can spring back to life with today's return to turf.

Beaten at 7-2 or shorter in four handicap runs for William Haggas this year, showing his best form when third at Ayr (1m5f, soft) in June; not quite so good on faster ground twice since but not inconceivable there is a bigger run lurking and Henry Callan is a good booking; key player.

Both wins (from nine races) have been in small fields, including from off the pace at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) on reappearance ten days ago; going back up 4lb demands more but there's a fair chance that he'll turn out to be an improved performer this term; up 2f, which he's not sure to stay, but he has to be on the shortlist.
