Form & Verdict
King Edward VII entry; won a Newcastle maiden (1m2f, AW) in November; a steadily run 1m2f looked inadequate on reappearance and he performed better when third of nine in the 11.4f Listed Derby Trial at Lingfield (good) two weeks ago, having been outpaced some way out; longer trips than this should prove ideal but he has comfortably the best form.

Creditable second in Group 3 contest at Glorious Goodwood (1m4f) last time but this is a better race for the grade; inconsistent otherwise this term; returns to AW for first time since debut win.

Well below form in his sole run on softer than good (on soft in France last September); last year's best shows were at 1m3f-1m6f but he delivered a big career best this May when close second in 1m2f Goodwood Listed race; two backward steps over 1m2f since see him back up in trip today; form chance relies on that one performance three starts back, so others look more solid.

Ran well in defeat last season in Group 2s at this meeting (1m4f, good to firm) and at York (1m4f, good to firm); gelded in the off-season; this lightly raced 4yo is in top hands and may have needed last month's reappearance run at York, but improvement is required in first-time cheekpieces.

Had looked better on AW prior to latest start when he produced his best yet when winning a six-runner handicap here (1m2f, heavy) three weeks ago; saw that race out very well, getting on top late on, so 1m3f should be within reach, but he has a lot to find on ratings.

2-8 on Flat for the Gosdens, gelded before showing useful form twice (once on Tapeta) staying on over 1m6f last September/October; sold for 200,000gns in October into the premier jumps yard and made his hurdle debut in the Triumph at Cheltenham no less, showing his jumping inexperience however and pulled up at 150-1; this should be much more his cup of tea.

Showed some useful Flat form for the Gosden stable in 2024 but last year's stable debut was disappointing and he made a low-key start to his hurdling career when eighth of ten in Musselburgh maiden (2m1f, good to soft; jumping lacked fluency) in March; needs to take a big step forward.

Form & Verdict
Won 1m3f/1m4f novices on AW early this year; turf debut brought more improvement when close, front-running third of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (1m2f, good) last Saturday but that was off a mark of 78, so this task is tough.

5-14 on AW; stopped quickly in last year's Northumberland Plate and it was a similar story in added cheekpieces at Wolverhampton (1m6f) the following month; afforded time off thereafter, returning with a sound effort at Southwell (2m; beaten a neck) in December; key player from a 1lb higher mark.

Completed an AW hat-trick at around 2m during the winter, but has disappointed in his last three starts including when beaten miles in the Northumberland Plate (2m, Tapeta); will need the first-time cheekpieces to make a big difference.
