First signs of promise when sixth of seven in a 6f novice here 17 days ago; that is just modest form but he's bred to do better now handicapping and he can't be ignored at this level.

Made a successful handicap debut here (7f) in February and doubled his tally at Leicester (6f, good; first-time cheekpieces) last month; fair fourth on soft ground last time and interesting back here, but he may prefer an extra furlong on a sharp track like this now.

Losing run goes back to C&D win nearly two years ago but she missed most of 2024 and her May run here, after another break, was quite promising; however, she didn't do as well over C&D recently and looks risky.

On a good mark now and he comes here on the back of two good runs over 7f, latterly doing comfortably the best of those to race prominently at Kempton 16 days ago (with cheekpieces back on); lower draw would have been optimal but he's still very high on the list.
