Form & Verdict
Dual soft-ground winner at about 1m in the spring of last year; it's been a bumpy road in the meantime but this longer trip is worth persevering with after finishing fourth of eight at Thirsk (good to soft) where nearest at the finish after starting slowly.

Unable to pose a threat on his last six starts but the last time he tackled a trip as short as 1m2f he was third at Newmarket (1m2f, good) in May and is now fully 9lb lower; he's not discounted.

Seems to act on most ground; recorded the latest of his six wins when scoring at Leicester (1m4f, good; stays further) in April but he's been below par over the summer and beat a total of one rival across his last three starts; now handicapped accordingly but revival still required.

Has won over 1m4f but probably wants a trip these days and last two wins have come over 1m6f/2m; has little in hand off his current mark but that didn't stop him going mighty close at Catterick 20 days ago (2m); very consistent in the main and hard to knock.

Had greater success on the AW but he's an old pro who continued the good work over C&D (good) 22 days ago when his rallying effort came up just short; could have done with a truer gallop (developed into a sprint finish) and might get one here.

Versatile trip-wise, he ran well when third of 11 at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm) in June but was a shade disappointing when fourth at Doncaster (14.5f, good) last month when longer trip was expected to suit; still not out of this if putting his best foot forward.

Form & Verdict
Sole success in 12 starts came over this far on good to soft at Wetherby in April 2023; profile is a little hit and miss but it was in a higher grade when second at Doncaster (good to firm) and today's slower surface could enable her to find something on that form.

Form & Verdict
His two turf runs were in maiden/novice events (well held); a better horse now judged on progress made on the AW, winning over 1m4f in February and not far off that form when third back at Kempton last month; gives the impression that this trip will be within reach; considered.
