Class 2

9st 10lb

As usual, he was held up before breezing through the field to win the Balmoral Handicap over 1m here last October (soft; 4lb lower); needs to put this season's performances behind him but arrives here fresh and rain would heighten interest.

Held up; excellent 2024 in handicaps on varied ground culminated in his Balmoral triumph at Ascot (1m, soft) in October; never having raced beyond 1m asks a question but he saw it out well that day and has a form chance if putting this month's reappearance (18-1 in Listed race) well behind him.

9st 7lb

Shaped well in a few top handicaps prior to deservedly landing a big pot in the Balmoral at Ascot (1m, soft) last October; whether his hold-up style lends itself to a Listed race around here remains to be seen but he's a big player on form if ready to roll after nine months off.

Form & Verdict

Respectable fourth at Haydock two weeks ago; has the ability to get involved but may be more interesting when back at Goodwood, having gained four of his last five wins there; mixed record (930000050) at Ascot.

Raced too freely over 1m on latest AW start and should benefit from this drop back in distance; 7f winner in January; now goes into deeper waters but has a turf pedigree and could go well; unexposed type, having raced only four times.

Best on good/firmer; smart 7f performer on his day, winning Group races in 2022 and 2023; returns to handicap level off a workable mark and, granted suitable ground, looks interesting with William Buick back on board; 3-7 under this rider.
