Record of 2-3 in 2023 for Charlie Appleby featured a success in the Solario; had wind/gelding operations since Royal Lodge defeat and now goes in tongue-tie on return from two-year absence; market instructive.

Has been only workmanlike in winning both starts (7f, good), latest at Sandown in the Solario, but he's a Dubawi colt who looks likely to progress further and will be suited by this step up to 1m; respected.

Serial hard puller who again over-raced back at 7f in a second-time hood latest; that was a decent effort all told, considering he hit traffic at a key stage, and he's well up to winning this if he's more amenable; therein lies the gamble.

Sole win in five starts came in a 7.5f maiden at Beverley last August; keen-going tendencies have been evident from the start and they're not going away judged on his run in Haydock's competitive Silver Bowl; could yet turn a corner but reservations for now.

Won at Beverley (7.4f, good to form) last August on third start and runner-up in Carlisle novice (1m, good to firm) the following month; the hood (worn last time) is left off today and he can race freely, while he's untested on slow turf, but he's in good hands to progress and is not ruled out.

Seemingly ring-rusty on Group 3 return at Newbury two weeks ago, the same story as in 2025 when he followed that race with a win at this meeting in a four-runner 1m4f Group 2 with first-time cheekpieces; they were kept for two modest efforts last June but have not been called on this season; this is his first handicap and he has a big chance if springing back to his best.

Displayed improved form in first-time cheekpieces (retained since) when winning the Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f, good) last month; flopped in the Group 1 Coronation Cup at Epsom subsequently but was reportedly unsuited by the good to soft ground; he could be just the type of older horse his trainer excels with and he's not ruled out.
