Regular sprinter but struck over C&D in 2021 and ran well enough without headgear (again absent) over 7f at Kempton three weeks ago to be considered; widest draw isn't ideal, though.

J: Toby Moore

T: Ed Dunlop

C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks.

Campaigned mostly at the Newmarket tracks this term, winning in May and respectable third last time; has shown versatility in the past but looks weighted to the hilt off current mark and this step back up in class adds to the difficulty.

J: Jamie Spencer

T: Ed Dunlop

Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say.

Form & Verdict
Big run on Nottingham debut last year (6f) and caught the eye on C&D return; gelded; created very favourable impression with ready Pontefract win (1m) and heavy ground may have been too much for him on handicap debut in competitive Newmarket contest 18 days ago (also 1m; 9-2); worth keeping on side.
