Form & Verdict
Roughly 5l behind Jubilee Walk on his penultimate run, but has a 5lb pull with that rival and he probably stepped up on that when fourth in a Salisbury 1m novice won by a Ballydoyle raider; all his runs have been on good or quicker ground but he's one to consider on nursery debut.

Usually gives his running and won with a bit in hand over 1m here two weeks ago (1m, good); goes further this afternoon and off a career-high mark (4lb higher), so likely to need more.

Consistent across his five starts last year and won off this mark at Nottingham (1m, good) last June; reappeared with close eighth of 24 in the Spring Cup at Newbury (1m, good) and could build on that effort today; chance.

J: Sam Hitchcott

Reliable last season, going close under a positive Sam Hitchcott ride over C&D (good) in May; met some trouble at Newmarket on final start; not discounted, although he'll need a career best from his current mark.

Form & Verdict
The form of his second at Kempton (7f) could have worked out better, but there was plenty to like about his third on nursery debut at Newcastle having been held up in the wrong place; the fourth in that race, who endured similar frustration, bolted up at Sandown earlier this week; unraced on slow ground but considered.

Similar type to Cerulean Bay in that he ran creditably in the Royal Hunt Cup (fourth) last time but is getting little help from the assessor, having proved largely consistent since his last win; solid contender all the same.

Dual winner at Ascot; hindered by trouble in the Spring Cup on reappearance and ran creditably kept to Newbury last time; far from disgraced when seventh in this contest last year but has a stiffer mark this time and his ceiling has seemingly been reached already.

Tough and consistent sort who won the C&D Spring Cup on 2025 reappearance but couldn't get a clear run in it this time round; third in this race last year and 9lb higher today but he's an each-way contender.

His only blip in five runs came when outclassed in the Windsor Castle; probably ran as well as he ever has when second to an improver at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last time and gets in here off the same mark; withdrawn when the ground was soft at Yarmouth yesterday.

Took eight goes to get off the mark and his rider saved every inch of ground as he came from behind to prevail narrowly at Southwell (7f AW); effectively off the same mark here with Alec Voikhansky claiming 5lb, but bred to excel on the AW and he struggled on soft ground at Chester in August (okay on good to soft).

Two creditable shows in midwinter, including over C&D, but his sole win was back in 2023 and he ran no sort of race on this track in January; needs to shrug that off.
