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.

Arc Zoosve

J: Dougie Costello

T: Neil King

Thriving since the cheekpieces went on in December, winning six of his nine starts in them and that includes his last four races (on Southwell Tapeta four runs back); the big majority of those races were on AW, with a comfortable success at Lingfield last time (has never run at this track); up another 5lb and into a better race but he may well carry on the good work.

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.

First foal of four-time course winner Oratorio's Joy (including her maiden as a 3yo); by Time Test; trainer best known for his older handicappers (4-144 with 3yos over the past five seasons); may need time.

J: Zoe Lewis

T: Thomas Faulkner

Dual winner in the spring who shaped as though needing his AW comeback from a summer break before a poor run at Ffos Las; that later effort may have been down to the soft ground and he ought to fare better back on this surface.

Won two classified races on the AW and added a 1m good-ground handicap in April (3lb lower); respectable return from a break last month and wouldn't be without hope if handling these conditions (there are doubts).
