Progressive on first four starts, tending to race freely; moved up in trip again for handicap debut at Brighton (1m4f) nine days ago but made the running and faded final 2f; returns to 1m2f but needs to resume improvement.

Did well on fast ground last season; well below form on reappearance this March; at least he challenged 2f out when next seen at Glorious Goodwood two weeks ago before hanging and weakening into tenth of 16; dropped just 1lb this term and a 7lb claimer takes over.

Form & Verdict
Made the running on first three starts, including his Goodwood maiden win and his good third in a novice at Newmarket; they were both at 1m, promising to stay further, but he was a very disappointing 11-10 favourite with waiting tactics on the step up to 1m2f at Sandown on latest outing, notwithstanding the steady pace; could be worth another chance.

Form & Verdict
Only four ran on his handicap debut in an apprentice maiden contest at Salisbury but he worked his way to the front 1f out to justify favouritism comfortably, well backed; creditable, never-nearer fourth of six at Sandown (again 1m on good to firm) 11 days later; improvement needed but he now looks ready for 1m2f.

Up and down since making a successful handicap debut at Salisbury last summer (1m, good to firm; four ran); revived in a visor two runs back but that aid now left off and cheekpieces didn't work wonders when tried once before; rain would cast further doubts.

Won four-runner race at Sandown (1m, good to firm) one year ago on handicap debut; three modest shows before creditable second in three-runner race at Salisbury (1m2f, good to firm) two weeks ago with first-time visor; manner of that encourages this move up in trip, on a competitive mark.

Form & Verdict
Had turf form at the start of his career but turf runs since have fallen markedly below his AW level; consequently he is very well treated on AW form, including at 1m2f on penultimate start, and has much more to prove on turf, including as he was soundly beaten at Newmarket last Saturday.

Favourite, much better on the step up to 1m2f when winning a nine-runner handicap at Haydock in June, battling well to forge clear; again made the running when creditable second of three at Nottingham (again 1m2f on good) 16 days ago; now has tongue tied first time; player.

Promising at about 1m2f for Ralph Beckett in his youth; only seen twice since July 2023, pulled up over hurdles (reportedly made a noise) for Harriet Dickin in September 2024 and down the field over 1m3f here on stable debut five weeks ago; up in trip with headgear back on; risky.
