9st 6lb |
Losing run since July 2023 but has been giving the impression his turn may be near again in two starts for his new yard; yet to try further than 1m2f on the Flat but has shaped like it would suit at times and one to consider. |

Long standing, dual-purpose maiden; 0-23 over hurdles but has run well on multiple occasions, including here over 2m off this mark; out of his depth in a Grade 3 when falling on latest; this more suitable and while he is hard to win with, he has each-way claims. |

Ex-Irish gelding who hasn't won since 2023 and never been this far (tried over 6f-1m2f by his current trainer); one of his better efforts from 6lb out of the weights at Windsor ten days ago, but is 6lb wrong again under Ruby Criscuolo (0-2 this far). |
