Form & Verdict
Narrowly got the better of his market rival (also a previous winner) in a small field at Doncaster (2m, good); admirably consistent and, although doubly penalised, this isn't at all strong.

Has inconsistent form for current stable but ran encouragingly last time (2m5f) while shaping as if this return to further is worth exploring; well treated on historical data, which includes wins off higher marks in 2023 and 2024.

Form & Verdict
Promise on debut, considering he was novicey and pulled hard; ridden more positively on his second run (also at Newcastle) and gave it a good go before weakening into fourth; needs to settle better but has a race of this nature in him.

It was only his second run over fences but he jumped well when pulling clear with the favourite at Wetherby (1m7f, good to soft) and a 6lb rise seems fair; good chance.

Made it fourth-time lucky over fences when justifying favouritism on stable/seasonal debut at Ayr (2m5f, good) 25 days ago; up 7lb for that narrow win but he showed a good attitude to hold off the runner-up and this step back up in trip should be fine; key player.

T: N W Alexander

Rediscovered winning ways at Ayr (3m, soft; 5-1), that his second run back from a short break; the handicapper has responded with a 7lb rise, but this stablemate of Whiskey On Ice stays well and handles most ground conditions; likely to have a say in the finish.
