Justified market support to make winning handicap debut over C&D (good to soft; from 4lb lower) in February 2025; failed to excel in a hood at Wetherby or Huntingdon (November/December); returns from a four-month break on better ground, which holds few fears; merits respect.

Form & Verdict
Improved form when winning a nine-runner race at Nottingham (1m, heavy) 17 days ago on nursery debut, snatching the win from well off the pace; up 4lb but seems to be crying out for this extra furlong and his stamina should be a huge asset.

Won a 1m nursery here on heavy ground in October 2023 and it was soft going when he scored over 1m2f at Sandown last September; back-to-form second in the same Sandown race (soft ground again) last month and, although back up 3lb, that puts him into each-way contention.

Sent off the 11-8 favourite when winning this race 12 months ago (soft); came into that race in better form but he's 2lb lower today and his latest run (behind a few of these) wasn't as bad as the distance beaten might suggest; the more rain the better for him.

Form & Verdict
Minor honours in maidens at Newmarket (7f, good; rallied well) and Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW; made most) and beaten a head in novice at Newbury (7f, heavy; clear 1f out); gelded since; such a bold show on heavy going is a big positive and there's stamina in the family.

Acts on heavy; finally off the mark in 1m novice event at Windsor in June; folded tamely in 1m3f handicap at Glorious Goodwood next time and again weakened out of it at Kempton (1m3f, AW) five weeks ago; that's led to wind surgery and today's visor, and he'd be a contender if back to his best.

Met all sorts of trouble on reappearance and has otherwise been in the frame every time; second off this mark at Haydock (1m, good) before getting off the mark by a neck in a novice at Windsor (1m, good to firm) five weeks ago; this marked increase in trip is interesting, including as his dam was a 1m3f winner and close relation to a King George winner at 1m4f.

Three runs over 7f, best when third of nine in novice at Chester (good to soft) on second occasion; slow start left him without much chance over that same C&D 13 days later; gelded soon afterwards and now also wears cheekpieces; dam 1m6f winner; may do better but others have less to prove.

Three runs over about 7f; there was a whiff of ability on second start but she was tailed off on latest and has not yet beaten a rival; dam won at up to 1m5f and this handicap debut gives a more realistic chance but she does not bring solid form.
