Ran big race in defeat over C&D (good to firm) in May and is still well handicapped but ought to have been suited by the soft ground when soundly beaten at Goodwood (1m6f) in June and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon.

Regressed over hurdles last year but there was some encouragement with a hood deployed when fourth of seven at Wolverhampton (1m4f, AW) on his Flat return last month; blinkers (retained) were back on when a pace bias and wide draw did for him at Chester three weeks ago; not entirely ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Second foal; dam 1m-8.5f winner (including GB 2yo/US stakes; RPR 97), closely related to 1m Group 1 winner Lillie Langtry and 1m Listed winner Count Of Limonade; stable already represented by big form player Maasai Mara here, so good market support for this newcomer would need to be respected.

Exploited a reduced mark to win at Chester (1m6f, good) last month and he followed up at York (2m, good to firm), both in this visor in which he's unexposed; remains well treated on his old form and he's a key player.

Some good runs in defeat this spring at up to 2m1f and he bounced back from his Newbury flop to win at Chester (1m6f, good) a fortnight ago; he was given a good ride last time but could still be a force today up 4lb.

Dual-purpose performer but his last Flat win was in December 2023; some creditable efforts off a falling mark on AW (2m) and turf (1m6f) this season but he was tailed off at Newbury last time and needs to bounce back after that; cheekpieces are removed and visor returns.

Out of a useful 5f winner (who stayed further) and made fairly encouraging debut when fifth at Thirsk (1m, good; hampered) last month, but it will be surprising if he finds the necessary improvement here.

Won 1m Yarmouth novice on good to soft last September; no real evidence he's ahead of his mark this year, despite a somewhat luckless AW run behind Botas (1m) in August; however, his finishing hasn't been that strong over the trip on turf and AW since and looks up against it.

Yarmouth novice winner (1m, good to soft) a year ago and has run some good race since handicapping, especially since headgear went on; finished just behind King Cabo over C&D on his penultimate start (first-time blinkers), but may have finished ahead of that rival with a clear run; could be worth chancing.

Quite useful on the Flat and returned from a long absence to win a small-field maiden at Newton Abbot a month ago (2m2f, good to firm); difficult to gauge what he achieved there but brings potential into handicaps off what should be a good mark.

Minor 1m form in qualifying runs, including when tongue-tie added last month, but has more realistic claims now handicapping off a modest mark and perhaps the sire will add stamina for this longer trip.
