Minor promise at two; improved effort when beating four rivals (including Lieutenant Rascal) at Wolverhampton two weeks ago (5f); still low mileage but a 5lb rise against better opposition could find him out.

Come to hand early in previous seasons but hasn't offered much in two runs back this time; now 11lb lower than when winning at Chelmsford last summer, which shows how things have gone since; needs a major revival.

Most of his success has come on AW but he showed at Nottingham last spring that he could get the job done on turf (5f, good); looked as though his recent seasonal return would bring him on and his lacklustre end to 2025 has seen him drop to a dangerous mark.

He has found a surge of improvement of late, winning three of his last four starts (all over 5f at different AW tracks); latest 5lb rise and some interesting opponents are reason enough to look elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Down the field in a 6f novice at Pontefract on his debut but he rewarded good support on his reappearance in January (5f, Tapeta); faced a stiff task trying to concede 7lb to the promising Pocklington at Newcastle later that month; makes his handicap debut off a tempting mark.

T: David & Nicola Barron

Hold-up performer who was successful over 6f at Wolverhampton and Southwell last month; proved himself at 7f when his strong finish only just failed to reel in the thriving Goldmoyne (won three times since) back at Southwell last time; it's likely he's still on a good mark.

Cargin Bhui

10st 1lb

J: Lewis Edmunds

T: David & Nicola Barron

Competitive coming from off the pace over 6f on all five starts this year, winning in clearcut style at Wolverhampton and Southwell on last two occasions; he's now getting close to his career-best form, with more to prove on this third attempt (first on AW) at 7f but he's been finishing well.

Form & Verdict
Looked a top-class prospect when thrashing ten rivals in a 6f novice at Goodwood on debut last May (smart Topspeed figure for a debutant); didn't progress as may have been expected afterwards, albeit in some hot races, and he has been gelded prior to this reappearance; he isn't bred to be a precocious 2yo and it could be this season that he fulfils that early promise.

Impressive on his Goodwood debut (6f, good) in May and was sent off just 5-1 for the Windsor Castle on the strength of that, but could manage only a midfield finish and his two starts since have been modest, including on nursery debut at York (6f, good to firm) last time (behind Ganesha); best watched.

All five wins have been on turf, rattling up a three-timer in October 2024; it's been downhill since and while cheekpieces replace usual blinkers, he makes little appeal here.
