Form & Verdict
3,000euros yearling, 155,000euros 2yo; dam a modest maiden; not really bred for 5f but he must have breezed smartly and he needs a market check.

10st 0lb

J: Callum Rodriguez

T: Hamad Al Jehani

Smart performer for Richard Fahey earlier in his career and has shown enough in three 6f handicaps since returning from a long absence to think he retains most of that ability, although he didn't obviously shape as if crying out for this return to 7f when fourth at Ascot last time.

Won five of his ten starts for Richard Fahey, notably a local Group 3 in Qatar in November 2024; absent for 593 days prior to his second of six at Pontefract (6f, good) in July; struggled in the Stewards' Cup last time but he's edging down the weights and could still come good for this yard; ran well in his one visit to Ascot.

J: Harry Vigors

T: Hamad Al Jehani

Won five of his ten starts for Richard Fahey, notably a local Group 3 in Qatar in November 2024; absent for 593 days and gelded prior to his stable debut at Pontefract (6f, good) last month, a race in which he was caught out wide but plugged on for second behind the thriving easy winner; clearly retains ability but this will demand much more.

Form & Verdict
Tailed off on debut but showed much more on his second start, going down by a head at Beverley (5f, good) in July; respectable third at Musselburgh last time but needs to get back to his best to win.

C&D winner; the odd encouraging run on turf this year, including at Hamilton last month (5f, soft), but he will need more if he is to come out on top tonight.

Form & Verdict
Looked good when winning at Newmarket on his debut in April (5f, good to soft); midfield finish in the Listed National Stakes when last seen in June, dropping away quickly in the closing stages; big player if refreshed by a break.

Had some useful form last year, including on soft, but he has yet to find his best in three runs in a truncated 2025 campaign; 9lb lower than when midfield in this race last year; others look safer.

J: Rowan Scott

T: Gemma Tutty

Progressive last season when his two successes included the 3yo Dash on Derby day; missed the first half of this season and might have needed his first two runs back, never-dangerous fourth of ten at Haydock on latest; raced only at 5f but may now be ready for this step up in distance; still relatively low mileage and not ruled out.

J: Sam James

Progressive for Gemma Tutty last season, winning the 3yo Dash on Derby day and posting a personal best when beating nine rivals in this contest (just 1lb higher today) 12 months ago; weak in the market and might have needed the run after over ten months off when only sixth of eight here on reappearance; big player if building on that.

Form & Verdict
Too green to do himself justice on debut in July but gelded afterwards and took a step forward when fourth of nine at Lingfield (5f, AW) 18 days ago; stiffer test at the trip will suit and he's capable of better.
