Admirably consistent this year (form figures 5321221); run down late over 1m4f here three starts back, but resumed winning ways with a gritty effort at Haydock (11.5f; soft) last week; carries a 5lb penalty as he bids for a sixth win under Charli Parker; first run over 1m6f.

In good form in similar races under under Charli Parker in recent months, following a win at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm) with runner-up efforts at Catterick (1m4f, good; Austrian Theory third) and Ripon (1m3f, soft; Spirit Catcher fourth); likely to go well again if a three-day turnaround after Ripon doesn't catch up with him.

His last four wins have been at Beverley and latest was off this mark (8.4f, good to firm) in April; 0-13 since but he's run plenty of good races including when sixth of 19 at Redcar last week; this step back up in trip is no problem and he's in the mix.

Often front-runner; sole win from 13 races was at Beverley (1m2f) in June 2025 off 4lb higher; out of sorts this season and although her latest start was a step back in the right direction, this first run beyond 1m2f poses an additional question.

Had been a fairly longstanding maiden but he was given an enterprising ride by Neil Biker at Ripon (1m3f) 17 days ago and it paid off on final start for Edward Bethell; unlikely to be given as much rope this time back with a former trainer but he comes here in good heart.
