Made it three wins in his last five starts when seeing off five rivals at Nottingham (5f, good to firm) four weeks ago; at the top of his game but this asks a different question of one who has gained all six career successes in single-figure fields.

Two wins this season (6f/5f, good/good to soft), including here, and when fourth of five here (6f, good) recently he wasn't beaten far following an awkward start; major player if the stalls break isn't an issue this time.

February foal by Advertise; dam 5f/5.7f winner (RPR 84), half-sister to 5.5f 2yo Group 3 winner Cay Verde out of 7f-1m winning half-sister to 5f-6f winner Artsu, is granddaughter of half-sister to high-class sprinter Bold Edge; stable can get them ready first time and had an impressive 2yo debut winner at Wolverhampton last week (well backed); interesting, especially if similarly popular in the market.

Regressive on the AW earlier in the year for this yard, having missed a year, but the return to turf and drop to 0-55 company did the trick under Rossa Ryan last time; going back up 7lb will test him but he's only had a handful of starts on grass and may well be up to it.

13-race maiden but he's reached the frame in sprint handicaps on AW in his last four starts; remains unexposed on turf and he could go well again off a sliding mark back in this sphere.

Form & Verdict
February foal by Profitable; bred to handle the AW and she made the perfect start when beating six rivals in a fillies' novice over C&D 11 days ago; the time looked nothing special and the fourth horse filled the same position at Wolverhampton on Monday, but her experience is an advantage.

Sole success came in a Nottingham maiden in 2024 when trained by David Evans; switched yards this year and best run since when runner-up at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago; Billy Loughnane rides for the first time and he should be thereabouts.
