Form & Verdict

Yet to win but he was a close second at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) in January before a solid third of 12 here (2m4f, good); perhaps this drop back in trip will suit and there's every chance he'll be in the mix.

2nd 5	12th Jul 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y Class 4	14:41 Perth Garde Des Champs 11st 7lb J: Alan Doyle T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	Better at this trip than the 2m4f over which he was third here ten days ago, but even when on a good day he's become extremely hard to win with (1-24 as a chaser and 2-39 overall); the clear plus is that he won this last year off 5lb higher.	7/1

Form & Verdict

0-6 in handicap hurdles but has run well to make the frame over C&D on his last three starts (soft/good to soft); shouldn't be far away.

5th 10	16th Aug 2025 Good 2m 4f 35y Class 4	17:05 Perth Cuban Cigar 10st 2lb J: Alan Doyle T: Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore	Stuck in a bit of a rut right now and he's at his best with some give underfoot; others preferred from 2lb out of the weights.	12/1
5th 2	13th Jul 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 5	16:53 Perth Cuban Cigar 11st 3lb J: Conner McCann T: Lucinda Russell	Regressive 7yo who never really got competitive when sixth over C&D (good) last month; far too well handicapped to rule out but needs to stage a revival.	5/1
10	8th Jun 2025 Good 2m 0f 47y Class 4	14:47 Perth Cuban Cigar 11st 2lb J: Conner McCann T: Lucinda Russell	Not really firing on all cylinders since the winter but has slipped to a very tempting mark and, with blinkers refitted, was not beaten far when fifth in recent C&D handicap fought out by Just Dottie and Mack The Man.	12/1
