J: Clifford Lee

T: K R Burke

Ended 2025 in fine form, running away with a Group 3 at Chantilly (6f, very soft) before defying a penalty in Listed company at Doncaster (6f, heavy); he hasn't beaten many home in three runs this year though and while his recent York run wasn't as bad as the distance beaten might suggest, it wasn't sufficiently promising to think he could defy top weight on a rare handicap run; cheekpieces, tried once in 2022, unsuccessfully, are back on.

Won a 6f Listed at Doncaster early last season (good to soft); ended 2025 in top form with convincing wins in Group 3 at Chantilly (very soft) and a Listed race at Doncaster (Montassib fifth); failed to uphold form with Montassib at the same venue on seasonal debut.

Won this race 12 months ago (good to soft) when others including James's Delight met trouble; ended 2025 better than ever with convincing successes in Group 3 at Chantilly (very soft) and Listed race here (heavy; Montassib and Art Power unplaced); penalised this time but should go well again.

J: Sam James

T: K R Burke

Gained sixth win of his career in a 6f listed heat at Doncaster (gd-sft) in March; best run since a 1.75l second behind Beauvatier in a Deauville Group 3 (6f, soft); beaten just 2l when fifth in this last year; needs the forecast rain to come, can go well if it does.
