Won a maiden over 1m at two but all four wins since have been over shorter, the most recent at Beverley (7.5f, good to firm) last month; too free at York (7f) 11 days ago and he'll need to settle better now returned to this trip with the hood back on (worn once in 2023).

Regressed over hurdles last year but there was some encouragement with a hood deployed when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) on his Flat return last month; blinkers (retained) were back on when a pace bias and wide draw did for him at Chester three weeks ago; not entirely ruled out.

Second foal; dam 1m-8.5f winner (including GB 2yo/US stakes; RPR 97), closely related to 1m Group 1 winner Lillie Langtry and 1m Listed winner Count Of Limonade; stable already represented by big form player Maasai Mara here, so good market support for this newcomer would need to be respected.

Dual-purpose performer but his last Flat win was in December 2023; some creditable efforts off a falling mark on AW (2m) and turf (1m6f) this season but he was tailed off at Newbury last time and needs to bounce back after that; cheekpieces are removed and visor returns.

Won 1m Yarmouth novice on good to soft last September; no real evidence he's ahead of his mark this year, despite a somewhat luckless AW run behind Botas (1m) in August; however, his finishing hasn't been that strong over the trip on turf and AW since and looks up against it.

Yarmouth novice winner (1m, good to soft) a year ago and has run some good race since handicapping, especially since headgear went on; finished just behind King Cabo over C&D on his penultimate start (first-time blinkers), but may have finished ahead of that rival with a clear run; could be worth chancing.

Useful on the Flat at his best and made the frame in two maiden hurdles in April 2025 (both 2m, good); this is his first run since and he doesn't set a daunting form standard but, nevertheless, he's a big player.

Minor 1m form in qualifying runs, including when tongue-tie added last month, but has more realistic claims now handicapping off a modest mark and perhaps the sire will add stamina for this longer trip.
