Form & Verdict
Has won two of his five races for present connections, the latest an amateur riders' event at Windsor on Sunday (1m3.5f, good to firm); seems just as effective at 1m2f and has a good record when having two races in quick succession, so will take all the beating despite 5lb penalty.

9yo who was down the field at Southwell (1m3f, AW) last time but was running consistently well prior to that; this C&D winner has an each-way chance if bouncing back.

Hearty strike-rate on turf, adding another in a Racing League race at Yarmouth (1m2f) in July; less of a win machine on AW but both wins have come on this track, over C&D and 1m4f in early 2024, and he was involved in a tight finish back on AW at Wolverhampton two starts ago; not far away.

Won three turf handicaps (1m/7f) in 2025, all in a tongue-tie and the latest with cheekpieces on for the first time; no headgear for either start last month (probably didn't stay 1m2f last time) and the accessories are missing again; back on her last winning mark, though.
