Form & Verdict
75,000euros yearling; nearest at the finish when third at Sandown (7f, good) in a maiden dominated by two outsiders (both debutants); it remains to be seen what that form is worth but he should improve and make his presence felt once more.

Best 2yo run was on turf here but he suffered heavy defeats at Newmarket in his only two turf races last term, admittedly absent five months in between; surged back to form on AW last October-December but last month's run was not so good; blinkers are given a go and overall improvement is needed.

Wolverhampton novice winner (7f, AW) last autumn and ran well when second of 15 behind a subsequent winner at Newmarket (1m, good to soft) in April; didn't enjoy the best of runs when fourth of seven there (1m2f, good) last month, but it didn't cost him the race; bit more needed.

Made all in novice at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in October; gelded before handicap debut here (1m, good to soft) four weeks ago and it was an eyecatching performance to be second of 15, given how long he spent on the bridle looking for a clear run; should stay 1m2f and although raised 3lb, he looks better than that.

Three wins here (1m, good to firm), most recently in October, immediately raise interest and he stuck at it when third over 1m2f on his final start of last term; quiet reappearance in February probably best ignored and he's worth another go at this trip (tried once two years ago); respected.

Good fourth in this in 2024 (soft) and respectable eighth last season (good to soft), making his reappearance each time; runner-up on three of his five subsequent starts last term (good to soft/soft); his four wins have come on soft/heavy going and such testing ground today seems unlikely.
