Form & Verdict
Still a maiden but he is a capable one on a good run of form and did well when third from out of the weights to a subsequent winner at Kempton 20 days ago (1m4f); can give another good account off 5lb lower.

Three AW wins in 2023, over 1m5f and 2m here and 1m6f on Tapeta; slow to find form since back from absence and although his latest run at Bath was better, others have less to prove over 1m2f.

Tends to ruin his chances by pulling too hard, as was the case when third at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last time but that was a fair effort all things considered in the first-time visor (retained); needs to settle but won off 11lb higher in March 2023 (AW, 1m6f) and has a big run in him; considered.

Form & Verdict
Both wins over 1m4f at Wolverhampton but he stays further and looked in good form there in November (1m6f); most AW races on Tapeta but should have a big run in him with Hollie Doyle (2-5 on him) back up.

1-23, her win coming on turf for Richard Hughes as a 3yo; not beaten far when fourth of ten at Chelmsford (1m6f, Polytrack) in May, but not built on it since and was 3l behind Queen Of Steel at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) last time; look elsewhere.

Losing run goes back two years; has mostly run over further for this yard but he's run respectably in defeat at about 1m5f of late and refitting cheekpieces could help, having run three of his best races in them.
