Form & Verdict
Improved on his debut fourth to win a C&D maiden readily (good to soft) in August; step up to Listed level proved too much at Doncaster (7f, soft) latest; further improvement remains possible and with course form a plus, he's worthy of respect.

Won the Celebration Mile at Goodwood in 2024; creditable third, faring best of the runners who came off steady pace, in Group 2 at Chester (good) upped to 1m2f last time; unexposed at this distance and enters calculations despite carrying a 3lb penalty for Listed success (1m, soft) last autumn.

Ended last season with a pair of 1m victories, the latest in a Nottingham Listed event (soft); not totally disgraced when fifth of eight in a Group 3 at Dusseldorf (1m, heavy) on last month's return, but that does indicate his limitations; races beyond an extended 1m for the first time; stable also runs Royal Rhyme.

Mixed form in Group races this season but he made the most of his dip into handicap company on latest outing, winning a strongly run, 17-runner contest at York (1m, good; acts on soft); best efforts last year came on softer than good and several runs (not just the latest) make him the form pick.

Form & Verdict
Initiated a hat-trick here (5f, good to soft) in novices' company in July, going on to win nurseries at Carlisle (5f, good to firm) and Hamilton (6f, good); has maintained that form in defeat since, the latest in an Ayr Group 3; up 2lb and in trip for return to this sphere; more needed.

Her last four wins have come at this track, with two of them (7f/1m) last month; drawn wide when down the field at Chester two weeks ago but she has fared better on that front today; big run on the cards.

Last four wins at Musselburgh, including two last month, latterly producing a career-best performance to see off ten rivals over 1m on good; runner-up on only Chester visit; a further 4lb rise demands even more but can't rule out in her current mood.

Chepstow maiden winner (6f, good to firm) in July; down the field in a French Listed race next time (6f, good), before showing improvement after a break at Epsom (7f, good to firm) last month; drops 2lb on entering nurseries; has it to prove on slower ground but remains of interest.

Form & Verdict
Improved on his Bath debut run when making virtually all to win a Newmarket novice event (6f, good to soft; front pair clear) in June; well beaten in all three starts since, the most recent on his nursery debut; drops 4lb; first-time visor may prompt a revival.

All three wins for this yard at about 1m2f on a wide range of surfaces, most recently when making a winning return to action at Haydock (made all, just hung on) in April; also effective at 1m but raised 4lb to a career-high mark; non-runner 2.55 York on Friday.
