Form & Verdict
Promising debut second at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last July before failing to kick on; returned with good second at Brighton last month (6f, good to firm; gelded); there's a concern he'll follow the same pattern as last year but this is an excellent opportunity if he's anywhere near his best.

Gained second win of 2026 at Leicester (1m) in May and has continued in good form, refitted in cheekpieces when fourth of seven at Musselburgh (1m) 16 days ago; that form has been franked so he can go well again.

Running well in defeat in Class 5 and Class 6 handicaps on last few starts; has something to find with Union Island but a good case can be made for him being best of the rest; wears a first-time tongue-tie.

Form & Verdict
12-1, slowly away when soundly beaten fourth of five on debut over C&D (good) in May; her claims aren't obvious on that evidence but she's a sister to the stable's multiple 5f winner Atiyah (RPR 86) and there can be optimism she'll improve; not ruled out in a race very much lacking depth.
