Form & Verdict
Form of 1m Thirsk debut third seven weeks ago is solid enough and he's entitled to build on it and be thereabouts again here; withdrawn after getting upset in the stalls on an intended start at Newcastle in September (11-8 fav at the time of withdrawal).

Sole win over hurdles came in a Clonmel handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings and failed to exploit her reduced mark (97) when fifth at Clonmel 13 days ago; however, he is closely matched with Redwood Queen on running in a claimer at Tramore last month.

Sole win over hurdles came in a C&D handicap last June off 111; has slumped in the ratings; potentially interesting despite having failed to feature in claiming races in his two 2026 starts; runs off 99, with a good claimer taking off 5lb into the bargain.

Never better on Flat than when winning over C&D (soft) in June, coming from the rear with the first two finishing 6l clear; 4lb higher today but that was followed by a hurdling career best, when winning a good prize on good ground six weeks ago, so he's on a roll.

Well held after racing too freely at Haydock (11.6f) recently and now 0-20 but ran quite well when fourth under Lauren Frost on last month's stable debut at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm), and his jockey (three wins from 35 rides under rules) is by far the most experienced in this race.
