Form & Verdict
Down the field in all four runs and he swerved sharply right when fourth of five in a Chelmsford nursery (1m, Polytrack) last week; still early days and this new trip could suit on pedigree but others are more convincing.

On the premises this season in his two handicaps at Newmarket (1m2f, good) and one at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to firm); half-brother to smart Sumo Sam, who flourished over 1m6f last season, and there are notable stayers in the family, which boosts his interest substantially.

Runner-up in three of his five runs for Ralph Beckett including a close call off 2lb lower at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; changed hands for 38,000gns soon after that; now steps up to 1m2f for new yard but he finished well last time and is respected; first-time cheekpieces replace blinkers.

Won four in a row on Tapeta for Barry Brennan in early part of this year (two at this track); has run with credit on turf since for Tom Dascombe in June/July and his current trainer; returns to AW following a break and has been gelded; any market move should be noted.

1m4f AW handicap win for the Gosdens and doubled his tally in soft-ground handicap at Yarmouth (1m2f) for William Knight, both in 2024; couldn't recapture that form last year and was sold for 8,000gns in October; starts out for new yard from career-low mark so worth a check of the betting.

Two wins in 2024, over 1m4f (AW) and 1m2f (soft), but it's been a slog this year and he's gone into reverse since a better effort in third of 11 at Windsor (1m2f, soft) in July; the recent rain is in his favour now back on turf, though, and he's not ruled out.

Dual winner last year (C&D first occasion) but there's been an echo of that form only once this season, when third at Windsor on penultimate start; sinking in the weights but C&D tenth on latest dampens enthusiasm.

Form & Verdict
Has mixed record in his five starts but he ran his best race so far when a clear second on AW debut at Wolverhampton (9.4f; first-time visor) four weeks ago; nudged up 2lb but he responded well to a visor last time and has claims if he can back that up.

Form & Verdict
Well-held fourth of five on his Bath debut in October but he left that form well behind when scoring at Newcastle (1m, Tapeta) 12 days later; that was a narrow success but he rallied well to beat the favourite and is open to more progress back up in trip on nursery debut; interesting contender.

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.

Made a good start when winning at Salisbury (6f, good) for Richard Hannon in August but she's been disappointing in three runs since; dropped another 3lb but she was ninth of 12 here on recent stable debut and needs a transformation on this step up to 1m2f.
