Form & Verdict
Had mixed record in his five juvenile runs but he finished runner-up twice at Beverley (5f, good), including a near miss on his penultimate run last term; just about sets the standard on that form and he's respected on his seasonal/AW debut; has been gelded.

A wind operation in October 2023 proved successful and he had some smart sprint form last year, notably a narrow win at Glorious Goodwood (5f, good; made all); ran well off this mark at Southwell when last seen 356 days ago; upset in the stalls and withdrawn at Goodwood in May; this is a tough race in which to make his return.

Form & Verdict
0-6 but was runner-up in two 5f novice events (good) last season and he reappeared with a respectable third in a Brighton maiden ten days ago (first run after wind surgery); should benefit from that run and his best form puts him firmly in the mix on this switch to Tapeta.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to three winners including Sinjaari (Listed-placed 1m-1m2f; RPR 115); didn't live up to market expectations when sixth at Nottingham (9-4 favourite) last month but he looked inexperienced and may not have been suited by the slow ground; should know much more this time and it wouldn't be a surprise if he left his debut form well behind.

He had dropped down the weights prior to a ready C&D win in December, his third course success; a 4lb rise still leaves him feasibly weighted and he is high on the list.
