Form & Verdict
Brother to a fairly useful 1m2f-1m4f winner and he's shown promise in his three runs so far, including when a 6l fourth of eight in a useful novice here (1m, soft) two weeks ago; just about sets the standard on that form and he's a key player on this step up in trip.

1-20, but no doubting his consistency and was only just behind Naval Tribute when third of 12 in an apprentice handicap at Ascot (2m, good) last month; has had more chances than his old rival, but should again go well from the same mark.

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.

Just 1-18 on Flat, with mostly fair form though and he was pipped over 1m6f just 15 days ago on latest start; just as good on turf as AW; sire Golden Horn has done well with plenty of jumpers; needs a close look on hurdle debut.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark (fourth attempt) when scoring on his nursery debut here (1m, good soft) last month and he backed that up with a solid effort in a Class 3 event at Ayr (close fourth); now steps up to 1m2f but he's a half-brother to a winner at this sort of trip and is respected back in a novice; yard won this in 2018 and 2020.

Went back-to-back (1m2f/1m3f on a sound surface) for Charlie Johnston last spring and is now 8lb below the latter winning mark after some lesser efforts for that yard; picked up for 1,000gns in October and is another to keep an eye on in the betting on this stable debut.

Won twice in the spring and now 7lb lower than for the second of them (1m3f, good to firm); little to shout about since May, however, and he needs the drop in class to revive his fortunes.

Form & Verdict
Ran green after a slow start and he finished a 12l eighth of nine on his debut at Kempton (1m, AW) last month; should know more this time but he needs a transformation upped in trip.

Hasn't won since making a winning hurdles debut at Stratford last July but shaped with promise after six-month break when staying on to finish third of nine on handicap debut at Worcester (2m, good) three weeks ago; Harry Cobden takes over for the first time and holds claims.

Tapeta winner as a 2yo; latest third of six here (1m6f; visored first time) wasn't a bad effort but it will need bettering if he's to come out on top today.

Narrowly landed a Newcastle novice (1m, Tapeta) last October and second of four here (1m3f) in January, but three of his four efforts since have been moderate including at Kempton (2m, Polytrack) last time; needs to get back on track with a visor replacing blinkers.
