Off the mark at the fifth attempt when making all in Lingfield maiden (1m, AW); not so good in two Newmarket handicaps since but he was hampered last time and family suggests going back up in trip today should suit.

2023 Royal Ascot winner who has also tasted the high life in top hurdle races; his attentions were turned back to the Flat for four races (UAE and Saudi Arabia) this January-March and he wasn't in peak form, before 12l tenth at Royal Ascot (1m4f; restless in the stalls) continued that trend; falling in the weights but needs a revival.

Not in top form since returned to the Flat but solid hurdles record (1121322) suggests a resurgence is likely; ran creditably, albeit fortunate to finish second the way things panned out, in the Champion Hurdle when last seen in this sphere; has the best chance at the weights.

Form & Verdict
750,000euros Dubawi colt; all three runs were in novice events on Wolverhampton AW, landing the odds on second occasion (8.6f) and runner-up on starts either side (1m4f last time); connections turn to headgear, perhaps due to his tendency to hang left in the closing stages; makes handicap/turf debut off what looks a competitive mark.

This year's hurdling form is uninspiring but he held on gamely to cause 66-1 shock at Salisbury a fortnight ago, his first Flat run since 2024; it's hard to tell whether he'll be in the same mood again here but he's only 2lb higher and this is a slight drop in grade.
