Form & Verdict
Debut fourth (7f, turf) been well advertised since and he backed it up behind a useful winner at Chelmsford last time (1m); was inclined to pull hard there, which would be a concern in a small field going up in trip again, but he's been found the right opening.

1-15 in handicaps, with the win on Lingfield AW (AW) last November but he's often been thereabouts, including on turf; bang there on Wolverhampton AW on both outings this term, the latest just three days ago; player.

Won twice, including over C&D; most encouraging when runner-up over C&D four weeks ago on his return from a break and should go close here.

Novice winner who doubled his tally by a head over Lingfield's 1m2f in November; could go well off 3lb higher if ready to rock after his break.

Form & Verdict
Continued the steady progression when a clear second at Kempton last month, despite hanging right; had no problem with 1m4f that night and will likely have plenty of use made of him in a weak novice in which he sets the standard.

Trainer does better with 3yos on the AW than turf; the market will guide with this gelded half-brother to eight winners, who went for 11,000gns as a yearling.

Thriving in 2026 and he gamely made all when completing a hat-trick in 2m Goodwood handicap ten days ago; up another 2lb but this likeable dual C&D scorer is a big player once more.

Four AW wins since December and she completed a double in good style at Lingfield (2m) last month; 7lb higher back on turf but that was a clear personal best last time and she's unexposed in this sphere; respected.

T: Thomas Faulkner

Not the easiest and plenty of short-priced defeats to his name but he won at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month and was a creditable third in another classified event at Lingfield (1m2f) three weeks ago; remains unexposed on turf and he needs a close look back in this sphere.

Not the easiest and plenty of short-priced defeats to his name but justified good support when under Billy Loughnane for the first time at Wolverhampton (4-7 for the yard) last Monday; has only run once on Polytrack but will rightly be popular under a penalty.
