Form & Verdict
He has run to a similar level in three starts over 7f-7.5f in recent months, most recently second of ten at Thirsk (soft) three weeks ago; drop in trip asks a different question of him but more appealing than most.

Did well on AW in late 2024, including a Newcastle win and two runner-up finishes over C&D; 0-12 in 2025 but has dropped a long way in the weights and returns to AW off a 13lb lower mark than when sixth in a C&D Class 4 in April; considered.

Has some respectable form over 6f/7f on turf/AW this term, including Redcar win, but is looking a rather exposed 3yo now; chance partly depends on how well she responds to new headgear.

Not yet fully exposed after only seven runs and yet to run a bad race; shaped as though well worth a crack at 1m when keeping-on fourth at Wolverhampton (7f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) three weeks ago and soft ground won't bother her; high on the list.

Now 3lb lower than when winning this 12 months ago (soft); however, he's failed to shine on either outing this year and slow ground, which seems unlikely to prevail today, is probably preferable.

Only 2-25 but latest win came off this mark last summer and also placed on both visits here; pulled too hard and weakened on 5f Carlisle reappearance but that should have knocked some of the freshness out of him and his yard is in better form now; no surprise were he to go well.
