Form & Verdict
Racing beyond 5f for the first time when an improved second in C&D nursery (good) three weeks ago, with the reopposing Siegen well behind; raised 4lb for that but the third was subsequently placed in a York Ebor meeting nursery so the form looks reasonable (fifth also third at Goodwood on Tuesday).

Came good last autumn, winning three times, and he confirmed that this is his time of year by posting a personal best to beat his 24 rivals in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, soft; made all) two weeks ago; hasn't run over 5f since the early part of his 2yo campaign but gives the impression this trip may well suit; well worth his place back in a Listed race and set for a bold show.

Often leads; ended 2yo season with a flourish, three 6f wins including one at this meeting and a Listed Redcar race (good and soft); has failed to shine this year but conditions are more in his favour today; revival possible; one of three for the yard.

9st 7lb

J: George Wood

T: Richard Spencer

Ended 2024 in fine form, completing a hat-trick when winning the Listed Two-Year-Old Trophy at Redcar last October (6f, soft); the handicapper has been in command this year but he's dropped 6lb in his last two starts and getting back on a slower surface is in his favour; has the rail draw and can make the runnning; revival expected.

Form & Verdict
Won maiden at Bath (5.7f, good) in July and came up against some useful opposition when fourth in a Ripon novice (6f, good) 19 days ago; his opening mark isn't obviously generous but he could have more to give.

Record is only 1-15 and it's 15 months since the win; however, has clear possibilities on these terms switched to a seller, provided he takes well to added blinkers.

Bumped into one at Haydock and his subsequent flop as favourite can be ignored, with him said to have pulled too hard on soft ground; this mark ought to be within range.

Reduced mark and showed signs of a return to form in a first-time tongue-tie (retained since) at Ffos Las in June; duly stepped up when second of 12 at Haydock (7f, good) last month; back up 3lb and another for the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Favourite when winning 5f events at Wolverhampton and Salisbury in May; good third of 14 in a Newmarket sales race (6f, soft) 12 days ago and should be very competitive back in a nursery.

Just 1-13 on turf but has performed well in stronger races than this in 2025, perhaps most notably when fourth of 22 at York (7f, good) in May; slightly disappointing when last in action but can cope with today's drop back to 6f and has slipped to a good mark.

3yo who was a creditable fourth of 22 at York (7f, good) in May and bounced back from a lesser run at Sandown when third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago; could be thereabouts.

Nursery win (AW) last backend came over 7f and she's run her last three races over that trip, but the drop back may help as she's often inclined to pull hard; capable of better.
