Form & Verdict
Recent 6f Ayr third came in a three-runner race but he wasn't beaten far and it was a big step up on his debut; encounters softer ground than previously; from a top yard so no surprise were he to take another step forward.

Sole win from 18 starts came in a novice at Redcar (6f, soft) in October 2024; well beaten in his first starts since returning from a break but he came back to form from a career-low mark when second of 12 at Catterick (5f, good) a week ago; that was his first try over 5f and he's contender.

J: Ethan Tindall

T: Ruth Carr

Yet to win a handicap but he was twice placed off a 7lb higher mark last September; two AW runs last month should have sharpened him up and this is a drop in grade; apprentice takes off a valuable 5lb but a wide draw on his first attempt at 5f, and a sharp one at that, dents confidence.

Both wins over C&D, the latest 17 days ago with Faster Bee winning the other division in a faster time; he is only 3lb higher, but like that gelding is drawn higher this time; will need a bit more.

Poor strike-rate (1-27) but has twice been edged out in tight finishes recently, latterly when failing to reel in Gladiadora at Southwell (7f; 9-1); pestered for the lead, reportedly running "too free", when disappointing over C&D 11 days ago; possible.

Record of 1-26 but he was runner-up behind Romanovich over C&D last month and had another close call at Southwell (7f) 13 days ago; nudged up 1lb but he should be in the thick of things again.

Game effort to win over C&D in February off 1lb lower; only run since came at Thirsk 12 days ago when easy to back and dropping right away in the race won by Eldeyaar; racecourse evidence suggests he will be much happier now back on AW.

Half-sister to three winners, notably the same connections' Pilgrim (5f/6f including 2yo; RPR 106); dam 5f 2yo winner (74); stable 0-8 with juveniles this year but she makes appeal on paper and it'll be interesting to see what the betting makes of her.
