Form & Verdict
Lightly raced; strong in market and ran well when second on 5f Wolverhampton handicap debut and reappearance at the beginning of this month; wasn't ideally drawn when third of 11 on turf at Lingfield (5f) since so that was another good effort; the one to beat.

Record of 6-17 on AW includes two wins in a consistent 2026 campaign; not disgraced back on turf last time but finished only fifth of six and took record in this sphere to 0-9; others preferred.

Struggled back on turf last twice but he ran lots of good races on AW in the spring and is well treated on his two wins late last year; has record of 29123 at Chelmsford and he looks interesting back in this sphere.

Both of his wins have been on AW over 7f and he's yet to finish in the first three in six starts on turf; failed to beat a rival at Yarmouth (1m, good) three weeks ago and now drops back down to 6f with the visor back on (replacing cheekpieces); probably better on AW over a bit further.

Both wins over 7f on AW; form took a slight dip the last twice, finishing fourth in two turf classifieds, latterly here (1m, good; second go at the trip) lat month; on the plus side he's down to his last winning mark and seemed to stay this distance last time.

Fair form when in the frame in maidens over 7f (AW) and 6f (turf) this spring but she needs to shrug off a poor run at Brighton two weeks ago; has first-time cheekpieces added to the tongue strap she's worn on all starts.

Placed three times in 6f maiden/novice events on AW this year (including here); only sixth at Wolverhampton (6f) latest but that race got a bit messy for him (pulled hard when stuck in behind horses around halfway) and he's capable of bouncing back; first attempt at 5f.

Useful pedigree; shaped with some promise when a 33-1 third on 7f Wolverhampton debut in January but nowhere near that level when a well-held third of four over this C&D 100 days later; has a hood added now; will need to get back to the debut form to be competitive.
