J: Edward Greatrex

T: Robert Cowell

Most of his success has come on AW but he showed at Nottingham last spring that he could get the job done on turf (5f, good); looked as though his recent seasonal return would bring him on and his lacklustre end to 2025 has seen him drop to a dangerous mark.

Three of his six wins have come over C&D and has dropped 4lb lower than when successful at Chelmsford (5f, Polytrack) in June, but he does seem at his best when dominating and that won't be easy with Night On Earth in the field.

He has found a surge of improvement of late, winning three of his last four starts (all over 5f at different AW tracks); latest 5lb rise and some interesting opponents are reason enough to look elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Down the field in a 6f novice at Pontefract on his debut but he rewarded good support on his reappearance in January (5f, Tapeta); faced a stiff task trying to concede 7lb to the promising Pocklington at Newcastle later that month; makes his handicap debut off a tempting mark.

In good form on the AW this year including two wins over 6f; 0-12 on turf, but has gone close on a couple of occasions and should have no problem with this sharp 7f; player.

T: David & Nicola Barron

Hold-up performer who was successful over 6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell last month; proved himself at 7f when his strong finish only just failed to reel in the thriving Goldmoyne (won three times since) back at Southwell last time; it's likely he's still on a good mark.

Cargin Bhui

10st 1lb

J: Lewis Edmunds

T: David & Nicola Barron

Competitive coming from off the pace over 6f on all five starts this year, winning in clearcut style at Wolverhampton and Southwell on last two occasions; he's now getting close to his career-best form, with more to prove on this third attempt (first on AW) at 7f but he's been finishing well.

Form & Verdict
Looked a top-class prospect when thrashing ten rivals in a 6f novice at Goodwood on debut last May (smart Topspeed figure for a debutant); didn't progress as may have been expected afterwards, albeit in some hot races, and he has been gelded prior to this reappearance; he isn't bred to be a precocious 2yo and it could be this season that he fulfils that early promise.

Impressive on his Goodwood debut (6f, good) in May and was sent off just 5-1 for the Windsor Castle on the strength of that, but could manage only a midfield finish and his two starts since have been modest, including on nursery debut at York (6f, good to firm) last time (behind Ganesha); best watched.

All five wins have been on turf, rattling up a three-timer in October 2024; it's been downhill since and while cheekpieces replace usual blinkers, he makes little appeal here.
