Didn't need to be at his best when finally off the mark in a weak 5f Musselburgh novice last month and took his handicap record to 0-9 when a respectable fourth at Newcastle (6f) since; may again have to settle for minor honours.

Finally off the mark in a weak 5f novice last time; won't mind the return to 6f or Tapeta (went close over C&D in the spring) but has had plenty of chances off similar ratings.

Two of his three wins have come over C&D and he is 2lb lower than for the latest of them; unplaced on his recent return from a six-month absence; can take a step forward today but others are still more appealing for win purposes.

There were positives to take from her Thirsk debut (6f, good to firm), finishing fourth of 14; that was in June 2023 but she returns in a very winnable race.

Came good at 13th attempt, with 7f course win in this grade three weeks ago; enjoyed run of the race in that slowly run event and his overall profile remains unconvincing but he should be fine back at 1m.

Showed up well to a point before weakening into seventh at Lingfield (6f) on debut in August 2023, though still finished under 5l behind the smart Elmonjed; since changed hands for 11,000gns and now gelded/hooded; stable also runs Bubbles Up; market informative.
