6 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
He's just 1-34 on turf and has been inconsistent this season; however, he went close off this mark at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last Monday and the way he travelled suggests he'll be fine now back at 5f; respected.

Multiple 5f/6f winner including over C&D; scored three times in 2024 but ended the year in a lull; bit to prove after five months off, although it's encouraging that he won here after a similar break last spring.

Seven wins over the years, this season's at Beverley in July (4lb higher today) but he's been below form since; has won on good to soft and soft in his time but this season's runs on both have been moderate at best, so maybe drying ground would help.

Yet to win but has run several good races, including when third of six at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) this month when the blindfold was removed late and he dwelt at the start; good second in these cheekpieces for the first time in the 8.10 at Ayr yesterday; considered.

An exposed 45-rated maiden prior to switching to AW in January but he's had an incredible winter, winning six handicaps here and soaring up the weights; only fourth in a Class 4 here last week though and he'll 9lb out of the weights if he gets in to this hot race.

One of the success stories of the winter, reeling off a five-timer here (5f-7f) in January and February; winning spree came to an end when second past the post (subsequently demoted to third having bumped Pockley) but it was still a sound run and he's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Well beaten at Carlisle three weeks ago on final run for Rebecca Menzies but that was his third quick run in a row, which is a possible excuse; has since changed hands and he was in good form earlier last month, winning over C&D (good) two starts ago; capable of being in the mix on stable debut.

Better expected back with his old yard here last month; may have needed that at his age, however, and the return to handicap company/drop from 6f should work in his favour.

Form & Verdict
0-7 on turf and there's a suspicion 6f suits best, but he's at a stiff track today and transferred last month's good AW form (6f/5f) back to grass when runner-up off this mark at Wetherby (5.5f, good to firm) last Tuesday; could be thereabouts.
