Form & Verdict
Has made giant strides in the last 13 months and he showed all his trademark early speed when winning over 5f at Southwell 16 days ago (Alligator Alley back in third); in against deeper opposition today but entirely possible he hasn't reached his ceiling just yet.

Ran away with this race in 2022 and went on to show smart form on both turf and AW in the next 12 months; not stood a lot of racing since but he showed he retained ability at Musselburgh 13 days ago; this is a much stronger contest but he couldn't be discounted with confidence.

Much better on AW than turf and he wasn't far off his best when third of nine in a 6f Listed event at Lingfield three weeks ago; has run well over C&D in the past and is one to consider despite his losing run.

Hold-up sprinter; not quite as good as he was but still capable of useful form when things fall right for him; came from well back to take third behind Fine Wine at Southwell 16 days ago; looks up against it on these terms but he should be keeping on in the closing stages.

Better than ever in the spring, winning a Class 2 handicap at Lingfield in March (RPR 111) before getting the better of Highfield Princess in a conditions race at Wolverhampton two weeks later; below best on turf afterwards but he can go well fresh and such has been his progress that further improvement isn't out of the question.

Usually races up with pace; fine sprinter over the years but the majority of his big wins have come at the Curragh, where he's won five Group races; well beaten over this C&D when last seen in November and, although he'd be dangerous on a going day, others seem more likely to give their running.

Sprang a 40-1 surprise in this race in 2023 and showed he's still capable of smart form when winning the Group 3 Renaissance Stakes at the Curragh (6f, soft) three weeks ago; however, he's some way down the pecking order on this year's form and others appeal more.

A regular visitor to these parts and has won here four times, including this race in 2021 and 2022; ran a blinder in the Phoenix Sprint Stakes over C&D on his seasonal reappearance last month; below best in Flying Five two weeks ago; could rebound stepped back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
His losing run stretches back to a Listed win at York in July 2020; effective on Tapeta and he would be a key player if back to his peak form (placed in the 2020 Nunthorpe) but his two runs in the summer were short of his best; others appeal more.
