Form & Verdict
Thrice-raced gelding who failed to get home over 1m1f most recently; bred to do better still, being out of a multiple winner for his connections, and looks interesting back down in trip on handicap debut.

Third in this last year (soft) and arrives at the top of his game, having been a clear second to Whatsgoingonmarvin at Sandown (1m2f, soft) last month and a very close third of 14 at Nottingham (1m2f, good to soft) recently; key player if his preferred slow ground prevails.

Won a 1m nursery here on heavy ground in October 2023 and it was soft going when he scored over 1m2f at Sandown last September; back-to-form second in the same Sandown race (soft ground again) last month and, although back up 3lb, that puts him into each-way contention.

Sent off the 11-8 favourite when winning this race 12 months ago (soft); came into that race in better form but he's 2lb lower today and his latest run (behind a few of these) wasn't as bad as the distance beaten might suggest; the more rain the better for him.

Ties in with Buttercross Flyer on Ayr running (nursery debut) and pedigree suggests she should build on that effort, being half-sister to a dual winner for this stable; possibilities off 4lb lower.

Was returning from six months off and drawn wide when beating Arlecchino's Rex by a short head over C&D in April, but found the trip too far at Southwell (1m3f, Tapeta) 13 days later; still 3lb higher than for the win, but still high on the list back under these conditions.

Overcame a wide draw to resume winning ways at Wolverhampton (9.4f; 22-1) a fortnight ago; that was her first win for 29 months and, while it's possible she'll strip fitter again, you couldn't be totally confident of a repeat from this 3lb higher mark.

Often leads, as when a wide-margin AW winner on yard debut last September; has run many good races in defeat since, including when losing out late on to a stablemate over C&D (good to soft; pair clear) last week; due to go back up 2lb; drying ground no help but form claims otherwise.

Yet to win away from Beverley (3-5 there; 7.5f-1m2f); started the season positively when runner-up at Beverley (1m2f, good) in May but hasn't kicked on from that and is slowly easing in the weights; these drying conditions should suit and the drop back in trip is worth exploring.
