Form & Verdict
290,000gns yearling; it wasn't a strong 7f novice in which he finished third at Lingfield (AW) but he was eyecatching, having done all his best work late on after early greenness; entitled to step up loads on that bare form.

Form & Verdict
Beat a subsequent winner at Ffos Las and only narrowly failed to defy his penalty at Chelmsford (finished well); sets the standard and should improve for today's longer trip, while new partner Taylor Fisher has been having winners.

Only made his successful Ffos Las debut (6f, good to firm) in July and has finished runner-up in two novices since, including behind a nice prospect at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) last month; open to further improvement now handicapping but would have something to prove were the ground to ease.

Close third in a 7f Lingfield classified last time but that was AW; no win since August 2023 and it's almost as long since he ran well on turf.

Not beaten far on his last attempt at this level (1m2f here) in March; not a solid option but no surprise to see him bounce back with blinkers given a go.

Form & Verdict
Was a bit disappointing over hurdles for Alan King as some of his Flat form reads well, notably his placed efforts in 1m2f AW handicaps last autumn (RPRs 84); remains a maiden and is now with a new yard, but his raw ability needs respecting.

Picked up for 14,000gns after winning a Worcester hurdle (2m4f) for Shaun Lycett in the autumn; poor in two runs for this yard since and would want to see good support before considering him.

One win each on Flat (2022 turf novice) and over hurdles (made all this September); left Shaun Lycett for 14,000gns before pulled up in a hurdle race seven weeks ago; some AW minor honours make this look a good mark.

Formerly a fairly useful Flat-racer and came good over hurdles at ninth attempt, making all in C&D handicap for Shaun Lycett this month; recently changed hands for 14,000gns; interesting to see what new stable can do with him.
