Just the one win under his belt but a solid performer in 6f classifieds last month, finishing close up over C&D and touched off at Wolverhampton two starts ago; lost all chance at the start last week but in the thick of it on the earlier runs.

Monsieur Fantaisie

10st 2lb

J: Mark Winn

T: Roger Fell

Opened his turf account when making a winning yard debut off 7lb lower at Redcar (6f, good to firm) last month; placed in two starts since, latest at that same track over this trip (ahead of Cooperation); comes here in good form and looks likely to go well again.

Gained first turf win over 6f here (good to firm; stable debut) on penultimate start, and backed up with a solid effort (runner-up) at Doncaster; no issue with this longer trip and, while a combined 7lb rise will make life tougher, he's the one who arrives in the best form.

J: Cian Horgan

T: Roger Fell

Five-time AW winner who made his belated breakthrough on turf when scoring on recent stable debut at Redcar (6f); up 5lb but he was as good as ever last time and has claims if he can back that up; last run was on good to firm but he's also effective on good to soft.

Form & Verdict
Both wins at Brighton and 0-13 on AW; minor effort on sole course run back in 2021 but was out of sorts at the time and better judged on solid efforts at this level on last two starts, over 6f at Lingfield and 7f at Wolverhampton; thereabouts again.

Should have plenty to offer at this level on the pick of his 6f form on Tapeta and Polytrack; has a question mark about current form, having failed to justify shortish prices on last two starts, in a handicap and a classified, but refitting headgear offers hope.
