9st 9lb |
All wins at 7f/1m but he was placed twice over 5f in Bahrain during the winter; met trouble when second favourite at Chester (extended 7f) on his return to Britain 17 days ago; harder to pin down than some of these and certainly not discounted. |

6th May 2026 Good To Soft 0m 7f 127y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
All wins have been over 7f and 1m so it arguably bodes well for his prospects here that he's performed well over sprint trips in Bahrain this year; very good second in this race (good ground) last year from an outside stall and this front-runner has fared a lot better with the draw this time; top of the list. |

Front-runner who has won three times this year and latest was over C&D in June; couldn't hang in there at Galway (sixth of 15) last time but that was a respectable effort from a tough draw and he still looks on a workable mark; dangerous dropped back in grade. |
