Form & Verdict
Has strong form claims after running respectably in the Chesham at Royal Ascot before finishing third behind a subsequent Listed-placed horse at Newmarket (good to soft); an 80-day absence is a tad worrying but 1m will be fine and he should go close.

Good stayer on the Flat (rated 107 at his peak) and running well in the spring before his form tailed off; successful hurdles/stable debut at Navan (2m, good; third and fifth won since) four weeks ago, strongly pressed inside final furlong but finding for pressure; can only improve stepping up in trip; the one to beat.

Form & Verdict
Had Dallas Star behind when fifth in the Chesham and then looked good on soft ground at Salisbury (7f); has since come up short in Group 3/Listed races but commands respect back at this level, for all that he's penalised.

Latest of his useful Flat form was an AW win in February 2025 but he failed to shine in his other two Flat starts last year; flourished as a hurdler instead and perhaps this run will be needed before a return to that sphere; the market may guide.

Possibly unsuited by the return to soft ground and/or something was amiss last time; drops back in class, having kept better company since handicapping, and returns to the scene of his easy novice win (sole AW run); interesting.

Impressed on reappearance (after being gelded); ran well but didn't stay 1m4f on handicap debut at York and then found significant trouble in running when travelling with purpose at Royal Ascot (1m2f); only 4-1 for a strong handicap at Glorious Goodwood but never picked up; that needs forgiving but he remains of interest; probably fine on all ground.

Sole success came when evens for a Bath novice (1m2f, good to soft) as 2yo; respectable efforts across five starts at 1m6f and 2m in 2025 and he went mighty close at Wolverhampton (1m6f, AW) in March after which he had a run over hurdles; strike-rate isn't a positive but he has the ability to figure.
