Form & Verdict
Promising fourth in the Convivial Maiden at York (7f, good to firm) on his second start but he's not gone on from that and has been well-held in three middle-distance handicaps; mark is sliding but he needs to find more on this drop back in trip.

1-10 over 2022 and 2023 for Ralph Beckett, with a soft-ground win over 1m2f, but modest over hurdles in 2024; fourth of eight for new yard in a 1m2f handicap last July was a partial revival but that was his only race last year and he needs to build markedly on it; tongue-tie (worn as a hurdler) returns.

Best when allowed to dominate, so this track suits his style of running; two wins already this year, here and at Musselburgh (1m1f); sits 3lb above his last winning mark, but still posted a creditable effort in a stronger race than this at York (sixth of 18; 28-1) last week.

Made a successful handicap debut after six months off at Southwell (1m, AW) in April, but probably put up a better effort when fourth of seven at Newmarket (1m, soft) last month; both the dam's side of her pedigree and the way she performed there suggest the extra furlong should suit.
