Form & Verdict
All five turf wins have been at this track (1m), including two this spring; only 2lb higher than for his win last month and things didn't go his way behind an all-the-way winner at Kempton last time; this step back up to 1m2f is no problem and he has claims if this sets up for his closing style.

Form & Verdict
Went very close at Lingfield (1m, AW) in the second of his three runs in maiden/novice events late last year; 12-1 on handicap debut at Bath (1m, soft) last month but he kept on well to finish a 3l third behind two improvers; half-brother to a useful middle-distance winner and this unexposed 4yo looks interesting at this new trip.

Sole win in 26 starts was in a maiden hurdle in April 2022 for Gordon Elliott; some creditable efforts over hurdles for new yard since December but he was pulled up at Newbury in March and has something to prove again on this return to Flat (0-8 in this sphere).

All of his five AW wins have been at longer trips but he went close over C&D last summer and was runner-up over 1m at Chelmsford last month; on same mark as for that last run and has possibilities if he gets a good pace and some luck; reapplied blinkers replace cheekpieces.

All five wins have been on AW, including two at this track; bounced back with creditable third at Lingfield (1m) last month and he caught the eye of the stewards when a never-dangerous sixth there (7f) last time; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he should get a decent pace to aim at.

Two course wins, at 1m4f and 1m; has raced only once at 7f, over C&D in August (favourite), and although a fast-finishing runner-up, the early stages weren't too encouraging as he was taken off his legs; if sharper in the early stages he'd look interesting.

19-race maiden but he was a close second at Chelmsford in February and made some good late headway when fourth at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to soft) 12 days ago; 1lb lower here and he's in the mix.
