Form & Verdict
Little show in one outing on turf in Ireland a year ago but ran well in both starts on the AW for this yard last month, beaten a neck at Southwell (7f) and by less than a length when third of eight at Kempton (6f); first two from the latter race have won since and high on the list despite the drop in trip and return to grass.

A three-time winner (including over C&D) in 2025; yet to add to it this season but back to form with fourth of ten in 5f Southwell handicap 16 days ago; ought to be thereabouts eased 1lb.

Form & Verdict
Having been off for nearly a year and been gelded he improved from his debut when third of 12 here (6f, good; 125-1) ten days ago, albeit still beaten around 11l behind the winner; his pedigree and the way he shaped last time suggest the drop back in trip may not be ideal.

He's fully 12lb lower than when going close at Doncaster (5f, heavy) last October; however, he's had an underwhelming campaign in the main this season and others arrive with more pressing claims.

Lacklustre campaign in the main but he has a reduced mark to work with as a result and was an encouraging seventh of 21 in a first-time visor (retained) at York (5.4f, good to soft) last Sunday, when suffering interference and away from the main action; ran two big races here last autumn; interesting.

Twice a course winner, including over this trip; started his campaign with a promising run at Beverley but three lacklustre runs have followed; well handicapped if the addition of a visor sparks a revival.

Has shown ability in both starts over this trip, finishing second of five on last month's Chelmsford debut (AW; 50-1) and fourth of seven at Hamilton (good to soft) 16 days ago; may appreciate stepping up to 6f, but still shortlisted in this field.

Began the season with two dominant 5f wins on AW; well short of his best on last two starts (6f, good and AW); returning to 5f won't hurt and the return of cheekpieces could perk him up; can't discount.

350,000gns breeze-up 2yo; could be on a fair mark for handicap debut given the RPR she posted when close up in a 6f maiden at Brighton latest (good to firm; first-time tongue-tie); unraced on the AW but strongly considered.
