Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict
Scored over C&D (good to firm) in good style in early August and produced even better performance when adding to his tally at Chepstow (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago; competes off another career-high mark today but needs to be taken very seriously in current mood.

Won off reduced mark at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and has remained in good form since; only faded out of contention in closing stages when fifth over C&D (good to soft; behind Too Much Trevor and Connie's Rose) last week and ought to be better suited by today's faster ground; one to consider.

Gained breakthrough win at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in April and finished second in three small-field turf handicaps this summer (7f-1m; twice here); ought to give another good account today but others appeal more.

Nine-race maiden but he ran some good races last season, including a third at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and a second at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW); looks interesting on that form and he had an excuse when dropped to 6f on Windsor reappearance last month; now has another crack at 7f but he's well handicapped if he can bounce back near best.

12-time winner including over C&D; has mixed record since last success in May 2024 but he's reached the frame here in two of his last four runs; things didn't go well over C&D last time but he had a wide trip in that race and could be dangerous if he can bounce back.
