Three wins and two seconds to his name from ten runs over C&D but he's struggled this year; absent for ten weeks since hanging right on the home turn over C&D and others make more obvious appeal.

Visored first time (occasionally tried other headgear) when a hampered, running-on second of seven under 7lb claimer over 1m4f at Beverley 18 days ago and that was the best Flat result since his win in January 2024; unraced beyond that latest 1m4f on Flat (second over a sharp 2m1f as hurdler); place chance but, with a 1-30 strike-rate, probably not the percentage call.

18l behind Mr Moonshine when tenth of ten at Chester latest (1m4f); slight ease still leaves him 4lb above his highest winning mark, and cheekpieces will likely need to inspire a career best.

Has tended to race too freely and has been well held in all three handicap starts despite attracting market support, including after wind surgery; should be capable of better and this is a modest contest but he still needs to learn to settle.

This is her handicap debut and a major step up in trip, but there have been signs of only a little ability; tongue tied on latest start and a hood (tried four starts back, pulled up) is reinstated.
