Form & Verdict
6f proved too sharp on his handicap debut at Lingfield and he scored when back to 7f at Chelmsford three weeks later (awarded the race, having been carried off a straight line); probably has more to offer, which is needed on this turf debut.

Has form figures of 312 since switched to handicaps this summer and that latest second was a close call behind Overnight Oats at Sandown (first two clear) three weeks ago over 7f on good for turf debut; 1lb better off with his old rival here and should make another bold bid.

Didn't cope with soft ground on seasonal/handicap debut in April but his close third (just behind Taritino) at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago was much better; 1lb lower here and the first-time blinkers might give him a boost.

Form & Verdict
Won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in April on reappearance and good second at Kempton (1m, AW) two weeks ago when cheekpieces were first given a go; needs to better even that form, however, and his four turf runs (two this season) were of a lower order.

Has seven AW wins to his name, the latest at Kempton (7f) in May, but he's 0-14 on turf; solid fourth in this race last year, however, and latest sixth of 14 (1m, AW; hampered) suggests he can play a part again.

Seven AW wins, the latest on his seasonal return last month when getting the better of I'm Working On It (7f); midfield on turf latest; returning to AW is in his favour but all his wins have come at 7f (0-10 at 1m+) and he could prove vulnerable to stronger stayers today.

Went very close in this last year (good) and, having ended 2025 with a win at Kempton (7f, AW), he reappeared with another there (7f) last month; he can be bang there if handling conditions (unproven on slow ground).

Upped from 6f to 1m for handicap/seasonal debut at Salisbury (good to firm) four weeks ago and made most before fading into seventh of eight; showed ability on good to soft as 2yo and may have more to offer now dropped to 7f with that latest run under her belt.
