Last win came in emphatic fashion over C&D (good to soft) in October 2024; still 6lb higher and he may just need this after 221 days off. |

2-19 overall, with both his wins in 2024 over 1m2f; three thirds from his five starts (all 1m2f) this season and he would have been close up at Leicester last time but for some interference, but he did not shape that day as if this shorter trip would suit. |

Got up on the line to bag 1m4f AW classified event in March but he's made little impact in two subsequent handicaps and is 0-7 here. |

20th May 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Better known as a hurdler these days, but he made a successful return to the Flat when narrowly landing a classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) in March; never involved in a C&D handicap last time but that was against a pace bias and he has claims if things go more to plan this time. |

7th 11 (9) |
8th Apr 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 3f 219y Class 6 |

Better known as a hurdler these days, but he made a successful return to the Flat when narrowly landing a 0-50 classified event at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) a fortnight ago; this will be harder, but he remains unexposed on the AW. |

1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 2f 17y Class 5 |
9st 1lb |
Six visits to Epsom have seen her placed four times, including when second in this race in 2024; narrowly got the better of one of just two rivals when winning at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) in May and it was a solid fourth in similar event back there a fortnight ago; will probably give her running but more of an each-way prospect. |

25th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 99y Class 5 |

His three wins have come at Brighton and he has a patchy record on Tapeta; has been running poorly and doesn't make much appeal. |

8th 6 (9) |
1st Jul 2026 Good 1m 4f 6y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Two runs here came in this race but he couldn't better his 2024 runner-up spot when only sixth last year; reappearance effort wasn't bad eight weeks ago but he's been poor in both starts this month, including when well behind Gearing's Point at Brighton last Monday. |

22nd Jun 2026 Good 1m 3f 198y Class 6 |

Three-time course winner, all in late summer; pleasing comeback early last month but below par here a fortnight ago, when well behind Foinix, and needs to bounce back (has never been the most consistent). |

Tough task from out of the weights on his C&D return and has come to hand early the past two seasons, including when winning here first time out in 2023; could have done without the dry spell though. |

17th Oct 2024 Soft 0m 6f 210y Class 6 |
9st 1lb |
Acts on good to firm and soft; runner-up off 7lb higher here (1m) in June but he's not come close to that form since; had an excuse when upped to 1m2f here last time but his losing run is mounting up and others look safer; change of headgear. |

5th Aug 2024 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 6 |

Ended a long losing run when scoring at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) in June but he was beaten a long way in his follow-up bid at Brighton (1m2f); now drops back at this trip but he's not easy to predict and has always been more potent on turf (0-9 on AW); down the list. |
12/1 |

2nd Jul 2024 Good To Firm 1m 1f 207y Class 6 |

Has hit form lately, going down by a neck here (1m, good) in May and going one better at Chepstow (1m, good to firm) last month; well held in one previous attempt over this far, but recent efforts suggest he is worth another go; respected from 4lb higher. |
