9st 9lb |
Better than ever last summer, winning at Cork and career-best when second in Scurry Handicap here over extended 6f; bit keen and not quite at same level in Listed at Galway festival when last seen; may just need this comeback run. |

Holding his form well this season, winning over this trip at Cork and was finishing second for the third time when beaten 1/2l by Go Athletico in Scurry Handicap at the Curragh on latest; still-improving 5yo up to a career-high but one to consider from a good draw. |

Useful 2023 form; down the field in Irish Cambridgeshire on only 2024 start; dependable this term, placed in three successive races before a well-deserved 7f Cork success, achieved at the main expense of Heavenly Power, with Moltophino fourth; first time below 7f now, may find a few of these too quick for him |

Expensive yearling was second to useful type on only juvenile start at Navan (5.5f, good); off over ten months and disappointing favourite at the Curragh last month but quite possibly heavy ground was the reason; son of No Nay Never should enjoy this surface. |

9st 0lb |
Both wins have been at 7f but he needed all of that trip at the Curragh (good) a month ago to be ahead when it mattered; it's debatable whether he's got enough boot under the bonnet to win this much deeper race; best form on good or yielding (below par on softer). |

Two 2023 wins on AW; excellent second on good ground at Navan last time; does not need to improve much to win a turf handicap but the prospect of testing ground is a concern. |

Ex-Seb Spencer; dual AW winner who ran a sound race when fourth in Doncaster handicap last August (1m2f, good to firm; cheekpieces first time); no headgear this time and may need the run after 278-day break. |

Dual AW winner (1m/1m4f) and his last success was in December; returned to form with good third at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) in May but he was tailed off at Hamilton next time and that took his turf record to 0-12; headgear now returns and he needs to bounce back again. |

Ended winless 2025 campaign with a placed effort in an above-average seller; starts his 2026 season off 8lb below his last winning mark but chance partly depends on the weather as he's best on ground softer than good. |

2nd Oct 2025 Good To Soft 1m 0f 75y Class 2 |
9st 2lb |
All five wins have been on good or slower including over C&D; hasn't been at his best this season but there have been some respectable efforts and he didn't get the breaks in a hot seller at Chester (5l third of eighth) 12 days ago; continues to drop down the weights and he could be dangerous back in a handicap. |

Pick of juvenile form came on heavy ground when third in a 7f Cork maiden; opening handicap effort last month at Gowran was okay but others look better handicapped here and possible ground concerns. |

Pick of juvenile form came on heavy ground when third in a 7f Cork maiden, a short head in front of today's rival Pigeon House; two subsequent runs below that level; should be better for his run in a 1m maiden at Navan three weeks ago. |
