Form & Verdict
On a hat-trick after winning over 1m2f at Doncaster before answering the stamina question upped to 1m3f on Kempton AW in August; a further 4lb rise is unlikely to rein him in if handling this surface after a break.

Ended his 2024 campaign with a hat-trick, scoring narrowly at Southwell (1m2f, AW) the final time and taking overall record to 4-11; this progressive sort is effective on turf and one to consider.

Did well to finish fifth of 16 over C&D (good) on reappearance four weeks ago having been hampered soon after the start and raced wide; however, he goes well fresh so may not improve for that outing, and it's likely this 9yo will be vulnerable against numerous unexposed contenders.

Form & Verdict
Acts well on Polytrack, unraced on Tapeta; improved form when stymied by Fantasy Believer's late burst at Newmarket (1m2f) in July 2023 and he's favoured by these weights; had just two runs since but looked to retain plenty of ability on Kempton AW recently; contender if handling the surface.

Built on the promise of his seasonal return when a close second at Warwick (2m, good) last month, despite making a mistake at the last; a 5lb rise asks a little more, though Lewis Stones's 3lb claim helps offset that, and he still looks favourably treated on his best Flat form; with further progress likely, he's high on the shortlist.
