Form & Verdict
Caused something of a surprise when scoring at 18-1 on his Chepstow debut in May (1m2f, good; beat a very useful subsequent winner); followed up at Redcar in June and he ran well for third on his handicap debut at Ascot last month; runs off the same mark and today's longer trip could bring about further progress.

Record of 4-9; posted his best RPR by some way when coming clear in a 1m2f AW handicap in June before reportedly unsuited by the good to soft ground when favourite for York's John Smith's Cup (also raced freely); the potential is there to make a mark at Listed level.

Runner-up on final two starts last season (1m2f/1m3f, good/AW) and improved form when readily winning six-runner Class 3 at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last month; unraced on slow ground; this is much tougher but this lightly raced 4yo is ahead of the handicapper under a 5lb penalty; one to consider.

Placed in both 2yo runs here, after which he had a wind operation; returned to win a 1m2f maiden at Salisbury in June and followed up in a York handicap last month (extended 1m2f, good to firm); progress stalled at Goodwood last time (didn't get a clear run) but still has time to get back on the up.

Form & Verdict
He has improved with each of his three runs, recording RPR of 92 when powering home to win a 1m2f novice at Doncaster 25 days ago (front two clear); moves into handicaps with untapped potential and the longer trip shouldn't be an issue; interesting.

Dual purpose; won a C&D maiden hurdle (yielding) in May 2024; raced exclusively on the Flat in 2026; cheekpieces replace blinkers worn for last two starts; worth a market check on return to hurdling.

Edged out a next-time-out scorer (pair 4l clear) when coming from well off the pace to get up late over C&D (good to soft) three weeks ago; he's been an infrequent winner over the years but he retains handicapping scope after a 5lb rise.

Confirmed the promise of his 1m debut when successful in a 1m2f novice at Windsor one month later; no match for subsquent Listed winner Haskoy at Wolverhampton last time (1m4f) but it was still a fair effort; opening handicap mark doesn't look impossible.
