Much better on AW than turf; recent PB when going down by a neck at Southwell in September but didn't run his race back on an artificial surface at Kempton a fortnight ago; has just second run here.

Two 5f wins this winter, one of them over C&D, and he ran as well as he ever has when chasing home Kim Wexler over C&D last week; steps up in class here though and it could find him out.

Form & Verdict
Has shown plenty of speed in his races but over longer trips; both runs this winter have suggested he has races in him off this sort of mark and the drop to 5f could prompt further progress; more appealing than many.

Stayed on well for third over C&D on New Year's Day; came very wide around the home turn at Lingfield ten days ago but still looked in form; may be happier back on a straight track; interesting off a workable mark.

Too headstrong in a clear lead at Southwell (7f) last time, so did fairly well to be beaten only 2l in the end; gained last win off 10lb higher at Newcastle in August 2024; fighting chance provided he settles.

Well treated on last year's high points and it wasn't a bad run from off the pace at Chelmsford 12 days ago, given how that race panned out (pulled hard/got behind/found trouble); the cheekpieces are worth persevering with.

Well suited by York and went close there in June; inconsistent otherwise during a 2025 campaign that has been markedly less productive than 2024; cheekpieces refitted for the first time since 2022; opposed.

Progressive this winter, winning 5f handicaps at Newcastle and here and turning in another solid effort when second over C&D four weeks ago; up in class today and he will need to take another step forward to win.

On a losing run and he has yet to win over this trip; sent off favourite for the corresponding race 12 months ago but faded into tenth; 6lb lower this time around and he has finished second in two of his last four starts; vulnerable to stronger stayers.

Tough mare who has been holding her form very well, most recently making all to beat Murbih over C&D last week; penalty against stiffer opposition and other pace influences mean she'll need to step forward again.

Form & Verdict
Developed into a very useful sprinter in Ireland in 2021; retained ability but failed to win in 2022 for Denis Cullen; sold for 70,000euros in November and given a wind operation; fully effective on AW and an interesting contender on his first run for Paul Midgley.
