Form & Verdict
Only minor promise in two 7f AW runs in late 2021; gelded since last seen; not sure this sharp 6f is what he wants, even allowing for his dam being a 5f winner, but he won't need much improvement to play a part.

The one to beat on the pick of her form, notably a second in an Ayr handicap in July (6f, good); never travelling on her latest start at Wolverhampton though and that raises doubts; rain won't hurt her chance.

Two C&D wins on soft and good ground; below best in the autumn and has needed both runs in 2026 but he's run two of his best races for Paul Mulrennan (1-3 on him) who is back up today; on a handy mark and a revival could be imminent.

Shaped as if in need of comeback run at Nottingham (5f, good; sixth of eight) in April; has some decent C&D form to his name and is 10lb lower (and claimer ridden) than when seeing off Our Absent Friends here in August 2024; foolish to discount hastily.

More miss than hit in 2025 but back on a good mark as a result and a record of two wins and two seconds from his five outings over this C&D means a revival can't be ruled out back from four months off.

OR:

Form & Verdict
Very green on his Windsor debut ten weeks ago and finished a well-beaten last of the seven runners (5f, good to firm); he was sent off a well-backed 11-8 second favourite there though and is clearly felt capable of much better; he's been found another weak novice here and it will be interesting to see if his supporters return.

Has the ability to find a 6f race on AW but now 0-21 and the return to front-running wasn't the answer when last seen in June (first-time blinkers, retained); can go well fresh though and a good run is not ruled out.
