Form & Verdict
Promising second on his Newmarket debut (7f, good to soft) in the autumn; beaten favourite in both starts this year but he's run perfectly well in defeat, albeit not looking straightforward; solid form claims if the application of headgear does the trick.

Has mainly proved consistent since joining this yard (233213126101), his latest win coming by a head at Ripon (1m, good to soft) in April; probably needs a bit more back up in grade and may not want the ground to dry out too much.

Tailed off on last month's reappearance in the Spring Mile at Doncaster but may have needed the run and those ridden more patiently came to the fore; he won three times last year (1m1f/1m, soft/good) and it will be no surprise if he leaves that latest performance miles behind.

40-1 for her Wolverhampton debut 19 days ago but she ran a race full of promise, finishing off strongest of all to take a never-dangerous fourth of 11 (extended 1m); open to considerable improvement and this looks a manageable level for her turf debut.

Received 2lb from runner-up Eloped when winning a 1m2f fillies' maiden at Chelmsford in June; cut little ice on what was effectively her handicap debut at Leicester, before bouncing back to form at Kempton (staying-on fourth; Folk Star third); seemingly requires more to trouble the principals.

A dual C&D winner in 2025; yet to hit top form this season but took a step back in the right direction with fifth of nine over C&D ten days ago; blinkers replace usual cheekpieces here and not out of things.

Form & Verdict
Unplaced in six runs in Ireland for his former yard, but he took a good step forward when short-headed into second of 14 in a 1m handicap at Haydock on last month's stable debut (good ground; hooded first time); capable of better and he's a leading contender.
