Veteran; no win since the summer of 2023 (1m, Chepstow) but still appears to retain a zest for racing; runner-up at Chepstow (7f) in September, and there were positives to be taken from his fifth-place finish at Chelmsford (7f; 40-1) in November; others appeal more.

Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces.

Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day.

Eight-race maiden; has scarcely managed to beat a rival in his last four starts (1m-1m3.5f Flat, and a 2m hurdle); has plenty to find with Romanovich from Brighton; tough to consider from 4lb 'wrong' despite the addition of cheekpeices.

Just did enough when getting off the mark in first-time cheekpieces here (7f, good to soft) penultimate; ran reasonably well (third) from this mark at Brighton (1m, firm) subsequently; interesting to see how he compares in the market to stablemate Letter of Law.

Won off reduced mark at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and has remained in good form since; only faded out of contention in closing stages when fifth over C&D (good to soft; behind Too Much Trevor and Connie's Rose) last week and ought to be better suited by today's faster ground; one to consider.
