C&D scorer who resumed winning ways in 7f Southwell handicap 34 days ago, gamely making all; up 3lb but he remains with relatively few miles on the clock and can go very well again. |

9st 6lb |
Hugely progressive in 2023/early 2024, winning six times; short of his best in two runs in 2025 but his latest close fourth at Kempton was a step back in the right direction; he will need another step forward to take this but it's not out of the question. |

Handy sort who proved highly progressive last winter, completing a four-timer over 7f on Tapeta including a win here; off since a lesser performance in a Wolverhampton Listed contest (7f, Tapeta) last March and will need to be as good as ever to defy this mark on his return; market may be revealing. |

More modest runs than good ones in 2025 but he did bolt up at Doncaster last June (6f, good to firm) and he is 4lb lower now; needs to leave his reappearance effort well behind him and he has finished down the field in his two visits here. |

Second C&D win when seeing off nine rivals in a handicap on good to firm in June; stepped up on that form when third in 1m Deauville Listed race (soft) five weeks ago; that gives her each-way claims again here but the outside stall has the potential to make life awkward. |
