Progressive in 2023, 2024 and 2025; that included getting pipped in the 2024 Cesarewitch (2m2f, soft) and two big runs last year at Goodwood; runner-up in his 2024 and 2025 reappearances, though not in such good races as this one; would have a lot more to prove on good to firm ground than good or softer, but this 2026 return is off a competitive mark.

It's all been quite laboured so far but he did keep on to be beaten about 4l at Bath on Wednesday (1m2f, firm), finishing fifth in a field of seven; worth another go over this far on that evidence.

Sole win in 13 came over 1m2f on Polytrack in February, which he followed with two more decent shows; poor the last twice though on either side of a three-month absence, and hard to be confident about him; stays 1m4f.

First run of note when going down by only a length on her handicap debut at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm); not a cast-iron certainty that she'll stay this far but a positive performance last time out is a big selling point here.

Still seeking her first win (0-8) but runner-up on two occasions at Yarmouth (1m2f-11.5f); seemed to take the AW switch in her stride at Chelmsford (13.5f; fourth of eight) but whether she fully proved her stamina is questionable.

His dam was a multiple winner at 1m4f and he was backed when raised to that trip on handicap debut at Wolverhampton, which didn't go to plan; not so easily forgiven his 15l defeat at Lingfield but that penultimate effort offers hope.

2-19 overall, with both his wins in 2024 over 1m2f; three thirds from his five starts (all 1m2f) this season and he would have been close up at Leicester last time but for some interference, but he did not shape that day as if this shorter trip would suit.
