Hold-up performer who is hard to win with (4-44) and needs everything to fall right, which didn't happen when a never-dangerous third at Southwell last month; capable but not without risk.

Won at Brighton (1m2f) on almost this day last year and has scored twice (1m2f/1m3f) on AW in 2026, including at Kempton on latest start; also effective at 1m4f and well capable of another bold show.

Can flatter to deceive, like when trading at 11-10 in-running before giving best to Enthused at Southwell two runs ago having beaten him at Chelmsford in January; ran better than finishing position suggests latest but is two poor runs from two here.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 4yo formerly with Joseph O'Brien; tongue-tie reapplied when he came from off the pace to make successful handicap debut at Chelmsford (1m5f) four weeks ago; just 3lb higher and there's probably more to come from him over this far.

Returns to the AW after another modest effort over hurdles, but was twice runner-up on Polytrack before that; both wins have come on that surface, but he ran well to finish a close third behind Payment Plan over this C&D in November 2024; each-way claims again.

Hasn't been seen over hurdles since February last year but was only beaten a head at Plumpton in December 2024 when 11-8 favourite; runner-up on the Flat twice recently so fitness will not be an issue and he must be of interest.

Ran well in fourth at Chelmsford (2m, Polytrack) in January when back from some time off and built on that to go close there (1m6f) four weeks ago; there's every chance he'll be bang there once more.

12-race maiden; close up the last twice but over 1m2f/1m3f and he's unraced beyond 1m4f; tends to be held up and this could be steadily run.

Never showed on AW 18 days ago but she'd been delivered with a well-timed run to win an amateur jockeys' race at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) the time before; not the easiest of rides but is capable of going well.

Proved unsteerable in the race won by Scylla on turf here last month, but with the cheekpieces removed she proved much more amenable when winning under Jack Callan at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) 20 days ago; 3lb higher and shortlisted if in the same mood.
