Ended 2025 with a Chelmsford win (2m, AW) and he has form figures of 2222 on the Flat this year, including beaten only neck by Campeona on turf at Lingfield (2m) on penultimate start; no reason he why he won't give his running again.

Ended 2025 with a Chelmsford win (2m, AW) and he has form figures of 222 on the Flat this year; all of those runs have been in small-field events but he went close at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) last time and is on the same mark here; in the mix.

Hat-trick bid came up shy at Market Rasen (2m2f, good) but he still ran well in pushing the winner close; up another 3lb but looks sure to be involved.

Has won his last two (at about 2m), beating a subsequent winner at Worcester and then nicely on top in the finish here four weeks ago; that was in a small field but they went a good clip and this far will suit; up 4lb for last time.

J: Josephine Gordon

T: Keiran Burke

Well beaten on his first five starts (bumpers/Flat) but posted an improved effort to make a winning handicap debut at Salisbury (1m6f, good) two weeks ago; return to the AW shouldn't be an issue (half-brother to seven-time course winner Whitcombe Rockstar) and he's open to further progress over this longer trip.

Uncompetitive in two bumpers and the same in three Flat runs (1m2f-1m3f), though the middle effort at Windsor offered some promise with a view to low-grade handicaps.

50-1 second in a Windsor maiden (11.4f, good) last May but he was tailed off in his final two runs (novice/handicap) last season; still unexposed but he's untried at this trip; non-runner when due to make his reappearance at Newbury (8.15) on Thursday.

Second to Golden Flame over C&D (good) before doing some hanging on fast ground at Nottingham; any rain would aid his chance.

Adaptable regarding ground and tactics; this looks less competitive than the Ffos Las 0-65 in which he finished second last time (hampered; two of these behind) and his claims are obvious.

In a fine run of form for David Simcock during 2024, over 1m6f/2m on the AW and fast ground; effective on soft as well but has a long absence to overcome.

Was building up a head of steam over 2m, winning at Lingfield and Nottingham on fast turf this summer, but the wheels came off at Beverley seven weeks ago; he has run well in both visits to Chelmsford before; considered.

Won over C&D in December and by 16l at Newcastle (extended 2m4f) in February, both from the front on good to soft; disappointing in his two runs in between and again on latest start but he was brought out quickly under a penalty in the latter; visor replaces his usual cheekpieces.
