Form & Verdict
Little show in one outing on turf in Ireland a year ago but ran well in both starts on the AW for this yard last month, beaten a neck at Southwell (7f) and by less than a length when third of eight at Kempton (6f); first two from the latter race have won since and high on the list despite the drop in trip and return to grass.

Won three 5f AW handicaps in 2025, the latest off a 3lb higher mark; fair fourth at Chester last month and he should appreciate the return to AW; went close in one previous C&D run.

In good order on AW this winter; two turf runs this summer well short of that level though and others bring more pressing claims.

Front-runner; two AW wins (5f) last autumn but he returned after a short break with a well-held fifth of eight at Pontefract (5f, good) last month; may have needed that run but his sole turf win was two years ago and others are more persuasive.

Form & Verdict
Having been off for nearly a year and been gelded he improved from his debut when third of 12 here (6f, good; 125-1) ten days ago, albeit still beaten around 11l behind the winner; his pedigree and the way he shaped last time suggest the drop back in trip may not be ideal.

Made a promising return to action at Beverley (5f, good to soft) in April but two runs since have been underwhelming; on a dangerous mark and there is encouragement for AW on pedigree.

Has shown ability in both starts over this trip, finishing second of five on last month's Chelmsford debut (AW; 50-1) and fourth of seven at Hamilton (good to soft) 16 days ago; may appreciate stepping up to 6f, but still shortlisted in this field.

Began the season with two dominant 5f wins on AW; well short of his best on last two starts (6f, good and AW); returning to 5f won't hurt and the return of cheekpieces could perk him up; can't discount.

Began the year with a pair of impressive 5f handicap wins on AW (here and at Southwell) and he didn't have ideal track position when finishing in midfield in a Naas Listed event in April; too bad to be true at York last time; equally effective at 5f and 6f; remains of interest.

Justified favouritism at Lingfield (6f) last month on AW/handicap debut, edging ahead towards the finish; has progressive RPRs and looks capable of further improvement; respected.

350,000gns breeze-up 2yo; could be on a fair mark for handicap debut given the RPR she posted when close up in a 6f maiden at Brighton latest (good to firm; first-time tongue-tie); unraced on the AW but strongly considered.
