Form & Verdict
Races prominently and can lead; not at his very best on either start for this yard but they were competitive Ascot handicaps (1m/7f) and it's easy to envisage him going close from the head of affairs.

Recorded his sixth Flat win when scoring at Sandown in August and he's won twice over hurdles since then, with his latest success in a Huntingdon handicap (2m, good) last month; open to more progress in this sphere and he's strongly respected on this switch to a claimer.

Form & Verdict
AW novice winner as a 2yo; easily his best run in handicaps (after being gelded) was his near-miss over Doncaster's 1m on his penultimate start; he was returning from two months off at Leicester last time but he was strong in the market and that was underwhelming; drops to 7f for the first time.

Form & Verdict
Came from off the pace to land a 7.5f handicap at Chester but comfortably held since and it's a struggle to describe him as well handicapped; horses from this yard can revive, however.

Last two wins have been at Epsom (7f), prevailing in a bunched finish (off no pace) there three weeks ago; solid chance off just a 2lb higher mark and he's tactically versatile.

Has form on all surfaces; won this in 2021 and 2023, and finished a close second in 2022, but he was well beaten when favourite here 12 months ago and his form has been quite mixed this year; he's a possible reviver back in this race but he hasn't justified shortish prices on last two starts, including over C&D, which leaves questions to answer.
