Form & Verdict
Showed promise over 7f on first two AW starts, including here; making waves in 6f turf events since, easily winning both Doncaster runs, and expending the minimum effort in July (third a good Newmarket winner since); up 6lb but is anything but exposed; holds a Champions Sprint entry.

Won the Listed Golden Rose at Lingfield in November 2023 and landed a valuable 6f Class 2 handicap here (off 106) the following summer; has finally slipped back down the weights, giving notice of a return to form (third) in an added visor at Lingfield (7f) 51 days ago; respected.

Not the force of old but he ran well when third in a hot Newcastle handicap last May (6f; RPR 108) and he races off a 7lb lower mark today; neither subsequent run has been comparable but this is a drop in grade and he can't be ruled out.

In good form from the front over 7f/6f at Chelmsford but a stout effort on unfavourable terms 23 days ago resulted in a weights rise; not obviously well treated now but has the rail draw and no wellbeing queries.

Ten-time sprint winner who scored at Bath (5f, good) two weeks ago and the quick turnaround may have caused his downfall at Kempton three days later; has claims if he can recapture that penultimate form and his four runs over C&D include a win and two thirds; dangerous.

Won over C&D (good to firm) last August and twice went close over C&D earlier this year (good); versatile ground-wise; he's gone off the boil more recently but perhaps the first-time blinkers (replacing cheekpieces) and the return to this track will prompt a revival; on a reduced mark.
