Form & Verdict
Ran well in sprint novice/maiden events on his first three starts; yet to shine in handicaps, looking a tricky ride when remote at Epsom when last seen in October; gelded since; up in trip and down in class; improved showing wouldn't be a bolt from the blue but there are risks attached.

Having dropped in the weights he made an immediate impact on AW in February, recording a quick hat-trick in 1m handicaps at Newcastle, Lingfield and Wolverhampton; career-best effort when second in a 1m handicap at Newcastle last month but his form dipped at Wolverhampton 13 days ago; drawn widest and could prove vulnerable.

Appeared to lose his way after completing an AW hat-trick at the start of the year (including a win over C&D), but he bounced right back to form when beaten half a length into second of 13 at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) last Saturday; off the same mark (due a 1lb rise) and major chance if repeating that effort; stable also runs Never Fear.

Landed a hat-trick early in the year, including a win over C&D, but has lost his way since, latterly when tailed off in first-time headgear (removed today) seven weeks ago; isn't easily recommended.

Balance of form suggests she was flattered by her keeping-on third of seven in a 7f handicap here last month; well beaten 22-1 shot at Southwell on Tuesday; stamina for 1m has to be taken on trust.

It took 15 races before she got off the mark (Beverley in July) but now she's added a C&D win last Thursday; no handicap good thing under her penalty but she needs respect hot on the heels of a career-best.

Form & Verdict
Has not looked back since upped to 1m, springing a 28-1 surprise at Southwell in December and following up over C&D 11 days ago; 6lb penalty for that win leaves him 3lb badly in but he did well in a steadily run event and the best could still be to come.

7-24 with his last win coming when joined on the line at Ripon (1m, good; 3-1 favourite) in April 2025; struggled on AW through the winter (0-4), and was pestered for the lead, weakening to finish fifth (beaten 8l), at Ripon five weeks ago; an easing mark isn't enough to tempt.

Dead-heated over C&D (good) last April and went very close at Carlisle in June; well handicapped on that form but a long way below his best on AW this year; the return to turf needs to trigger a major revival.

Two C&D wins on his record but he has finished down the field in three runs back from a break this year; only dropped 3lb for those defeats and he may need some more help from the handicapper.

Made a winning stable debut when given a well-judged ride from the front over C&D two weeks ago; the runner-up has gone close since but he'll need another step forward if he's to follow up.

0-6 but he ran his best race when close fifth at Ripon (1m, good; tongue-tie added) ten days ago and that can be marked up because he ran into some trouble in the closing stages; should be fine with this drop back in trip and he looks interesting off 1lb lower than last time.
