Form & Verdict
Nothing like so talented as his brother Megallan - 1m Group 3 winner for the same connections - but did show mildly progressive form in his novices (1m-1m2f) and it was a messy race in which he was a close fourth of five on his handicap debut (July course here); could have an improved run in him.

Form & Verdict
Can race freely and didn't get home over 1m4f at Brighton before more patient tactics reaped reward on the return to 1m2f at Newbury, winning well; effectively only 2lb higher if taking into account Pierre-Louis Jamin's claim.

Ended long losing run with a last-gasp win at Lingfield (1m) three weeks ago and he was only narrowly denied on his return visit 11 days ago; on same mark here and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style.

9yo who is without a win since October 2023; ran four times last winter, best effort on first occasion and he's often gone well after other breaks, so he needs a second look off this career-low mark.

Beaten all eight times and connections resisted the temptation of handicaps until last time at Brighton (1m4f, good) when a front-running fourth of seven; blinkers would appear to be a cry for help.

0-9 for Ralph Beckett and four defeats for this yard, albeit she ran her best race for a while when second at Lingfield (extended 1m3f, good to firm) 11 days ago; left the impression a stronger pace there would have suited and she's not out of this.

Cheekpieces enlisted for her two minor honours on AW this year; goes well on softer than good and probably stays 1m4f; stable has had winners this month but this filly's 0-11 record is a nagging worry.

Form & Verdict
Some feat to have bagged seven handicaps since March and none of those wins were more impressive than when swatting aside the opposition at Beverley (1m4f, good) last month; well held in third when penalised the following week at Thirsk but soft ground could have been a factor; may regain the winning thread.

Got back on the scoresheet over C&D (Class 4) last July but he's not really gone on from that and has been well held in his three runs this year; has dipped back below his last winning mark but he's not easy to predict and others are preferred.

Not at his best on his second start back from a break at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) nine days ago, but mainly consistent and is 1lb lower than when runner-up over C&D last September; not dismissed entirely.
