Form & Verdict
0-5 in Ireland and makes stable debut after a year off (gelded in interim; same owner); however, this 350,000euros yearling has shown considerable promise and it will be no surprise if he runs well; hood goes on.

Two wins at Newcastle (1m, AW) this year, including on his latest start last month; 2lb out of the handicap today and he's 0-13 on turf, but has been placed a few times on grass and is not discounted.

Just 2-33 but both wins have come here, the latest over C&D last month; found to be lame when down the field two days later and 7f looked too sharp when third here three weeks ago; he's one to consider now back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Inconsistent 7yo whose losing sequence goes back 17 races to July 2022, but he reappeared with a good second at Ayr (1m2f) a fortnight ago and is also effective over this C&D; in the mix if again on a going day.

His five wins (three here) have been over about 1m4f so this trip may prove too sharp; however, 1m6f was too far at Southwell last time out and he's been in really good form otherwise on the Flat this year, including over today's C&D; might not be far away.

All six wins have been on Tapeta, including three over C&D; well treated on his best form last year and he went close off this mark over C&D (Rubellite third) last Thursday; that was his second run after a break and he's a big player if he can repeat that form.

2lb below last winning mark and although not seen in six months, has won after a similar absence; has run well in all four starts over C&D, but all six wins have come over 1m4f (three here) so he wouldn't want a dawdle over this trip.

Reappeared with fair seventh of 14 at Ayr (1m2f) recently and could improve for that run; effective over C&D and continues to drop down the weights, but this 7yo has a regressive profile and others have more pressing claims.
