Form & Verdict
From a family the trainer knows well and there was some promise in his three runs over 1m/1m1f as a 2yo; should prove a different proposition now handicapping over middle distances; interesting.

Progressed well in 2025 when a dual C&D winner; shaped encouragingly after six months off when fourth of five in 2m Goodwood handicap on his return in May; sort to do well again this season, so he's a big player eased 1lb.

J: Rob Hornby

T: Hughie Morrison

Close third on soft at Yarmouth (1m6f) last July was his best turf form; needs better given the improvement he's shown on Kempton AW (2m) in two of his three starts since, but he'd have a good chance if that form is transferred back to turf; won on 2024 reappearance; needs a close look.

Useful pedigree and although he was down the field in three runs last autumn, he's a likely big improver upped in trip for this handicap debut; gelded since last seen; cheekpieces added; betting instructive.

Solid novice hurdler at 2m from last spring to autumn, completing a four-timer (on good ground) prior to holding his form, running-on sixth in Grade 2 at Cheltenham the final occasion; attractively weighed and has possibilities with this new trip worth exploring.

Form & Verdict
She improved for the switch to nurseries last October, seeing off one who has won three times since in a 1m2f event at Chelmsford in October; near-miss at Wolverhampton two weeks later (9.5f) and then given a break until reappearing at Southwell 17 days ago; may have needed the run there and she's still of interest on her 2yo form.

0-6 for Charles Hills but wasn't beaten far in 1m nurseries twice in the autumn; sold for 22,000gns in October and gelded; steps up 3f for his stable debut and if he improves for it (mixed messages on pedigree) then he'll be a danger to all.
