Form & Verdict
Course win in July 2021 (1m6f, good to soft) remains his last success; out of sorts in 2023 but a consequence of that is he's starting out for a new yard off a lowly mark; needs a market check.

His five wins include two here, the second over this trip on fast ground in May 2024; versatile, though, for his latest win was over 1m1f at Goodwood last month (good to soft) and last run was when fourth over 7.5f here (soft); chance back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Won twice on AW as a 2yo; best turf run came over C&D last May, third of ten having made up a lot of ground in the straight; mixed record since but he's dropped a long way in the weights and he should be sharper with his reappearance behind him.

Out of form over a range of trips for new stable this spring (five runs; including one on the Flat); drops back to 2m after 42l defeat over 2m7f in refitted cheekpieces (retained) ten days ago; revival needed.

Form & Verdict
Dropped 21lb since joining this yard and although there hasn't been a great deal of encouragement in the last eight months, he was more prominent in the betting last time; interesting to see if his backers return.

Record of 1-11 but he's well handicapped on his best form last season and was beaten less than 2l when fifth in a Class 4 at Chester (10.3f, good) last time; hood is now removed but he could be dangerous on this drop back in grade.
