Form & Verdict
Kept on for encouraging fourth of seven at Newmarket (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago in his second handicap; this step up in trip could be a positive move and he's a possible player; has shown promise on good to soft ground.

Dual novice winner (including here over 2m) last year; best effort in 2025 a neck second at Wexford (2m1f, gd-yld) on penultimate; didn't back that up off 7lb higher at Newton Abbott latest (pulled up); talented on his day but difficult to predict.

Ran well from the front when second of five at Hamilton (1m3f, good to soft) last Thursday, when wearing first-time blinkers on her second handicap start; has a first-time visor this time and could make a bold bid.

Ultra game from the front when winning last week's 2m2f Musselburgh Gold Cup (good to soft); effectively 4lb lower with Ashley Lewis taking off 7lb, but she had a very yard race and this rise in class may find her out.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't threatened in his two handicaps, at Ascot (1m, soft) and Sandown (1m2f, good), but he's stayed on nicely each time and today's extra distance could prove ideal, with his dam having won at up to 1m4f.

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.

Fair Flat maiden who got off the mark on stable/hurdle debut at Taunton (2m, good to soft) in December and made a solid start to handicaps this year, going close at Taunton then comfortably accounting for a warm favourite at Hereford (2m, good) last month; in a deeper race here but he's an improving 4yo and the 5lb rise might not be enough to anchor him.

He's not bred for this trip on the dam's side but he kept on well when 3l second of six at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) recently and today's step up in distance is worth a go; could go well in first-time cheekpieces.
