Form & Verdict
All three wins have come at 1m, two last season; beaten only two short heads over 1m2f at York last month on penultimate start but that's easily his best effort this term; good to soft might have been against him in most of the others, including last time, but this trip is a step in the dark.

Form & Verdict
Won last June on his only visit to Redcar; has good 1m4f handicap form, including latest start, but his apparent creditable third over 1m6f last August might prompt some caution seeing as it was registered in a four-runner Group 3 in which he was some way adrift of the first two; still considered.

Markedly slow starts on all five appearances but won two, latterly in a 1m6f handicap on good to soft at Haydock in July off 4lb lower; never quite got competitive on last two outings, not disgraced in form terms but he cannot afford to keep giving such a headstart to his rivals.

Useful form on the Flat for Ed Bethell including a 1m6f win off 82; hood goes on for his stable/hurdles debut; stays at least 2m on the level so this may not be a sufficient stamina test; probably best watched, especially on this ground.

Won at York in July; well below form on last four starts and it was a three-runner race in which he was a 9l second over 2m at York on penultimate outing, so his stamina beyond 1m4f remains unproved.

Form & Verdict
Rattled off an AW hat-trick in late 2022; not seen since May, when he ran respectably at 1m4f again; the layoff, a rare turf race and today's trip all pose serious questions, though, including as his form dipped over 2m at Lingfield at Easter on his only attempt beyond 1m4f.

Consistently on the premises before off the mark when favourite for ten-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m2f, soft) three weeks ago; blinkered time before; 3lb higher today and this is too big a step up in trip to be confident he will stay but there is stamina in the family and he is a lightly raced 3yo.
