Well beaten in series final on AW last time; form otherwise this term features a few placed efforts; sole attempt over C&D (soft) resulted in a comfortable win off 9lb higher in 2023; one to consider. |

12th May 2023 Soft 0m 7f 0y Class 2 |
9st 3lb |
Prominent in the market for all three runs; overcame an awkward start to win his maiden on the AW (7f) but couldn't concede weight to a Stoute-trained winner (disappointed since) when upped to 1m at Lingfield; doesn't look obviously well handicapped on his bare achievements to date but clearly open to improvement for his top yard. |

18th Apr 2023 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 5 |
9st 9lb |
Stepped up a fair way on debut turf run when scoring over 7f at Wolverhampton in November, taking a bump at the start but showing a good attitude to reel in one that got first run; should stay this trip and should go well on reappearance, despite penalty. |

17th Oct 2024 Yielding 1m 2f 0y |
9st 9lb |
Only beaten half a length over C&D in June and bounced back from a lesser effort when runner-up over 1m4f at Listowel last month; drop back in trip on slower ground looks ideal and has to be high on the shortlist. |

29th May 2026 Good To Firm 1m 3f 198y Class 5 |
9st 6lb |
Three wins here (1m, good to firm), most recently in October, immediately raise interest and he stuck at it when third over 1m2f on his final start of last term; quiet reappearance in February probably best ignored and he's worth another go at this trip (tried once two years ago); respected. |

12th Feb 2026 Standard 1m 0f 1y Class 4 |

Four-time turf winner including three at Brighton; placed in both starts on Polytrack (7f/1m2f) and the biggest question is how ready he will be after 79 days off. |

Two C&D wins in 2024, the second off current mark; behind two of today's rivals here most recently but good chance if back to best. |

3rd Aug 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 12lb |
Progressive 3yo for Ed Walker, reeling off a four-timer before running well in an Ascot Group 3 last October; didn't fire in Qatar earlier this year but he won well at Saint-Cloud in May (6f, soft) and turned in another fine handicap effort when second of 25 in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot (6f, good to firm), making his challenge on the opposite side of the track to the winner; 3lb higher and this sharper track is not sure to play to his strengths. |
6/1 |

2nd 10 (24) |
22nd Jun 2024 Good To Firm 0m 6f 0y Class 2 |
9st 7lb |
Found his trip when back at 6f in the second half of 2023, indifferent to the state of the ground when winning all four handicaps, including over C&D on good to firm; has left Ed Walker since but was at least as good as ever when winning a 6f conditions race at Saint-Cloud (soft) in May; has cards to play back here. |
7/1 |

6th 7 (9) |
7th Oct 2023 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 1 |
9st 3lb |
Acts on any ground; progressive 3yo who has completed a handicap four-timer since being dropped back to 6f and gained the last two wins at this venue; overall record is now 6-13; brings a very attractive profile to this first Group attempt and being 2-2 at Ascot is a bonus. |

Gained second career success at Beverley in April (7.5f, good to soft) and some fair runs at up to 1m2f since; a possible. |
7/1 |

3rd 9 (3) |
29th Sep 2023 Good To Firm 1m 1f 0y Class 3 |
8st 13lb |
Both wins at about 7f but stayed on for close fourth over an extended 1m on AW most recently and may see out this slightly longer distance; looks more exposed than the other 3yos in the field, however. |
10/1 |
|
4th 6 (5) |
17th Aug 2023 Standard 1m 0f 142y Class 3 |
8st 10lb |
Made a successful return at Beverley (7f, good to soft) in April and ran well on a couple of occasions subsequently; something to prove after heavy defeats the last twice, but half-sister and dam both AW winners so not impossible she could bounce back on the new surface. |
9/1 |
