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.
