Form & Verdict
Hasn't threatened on either run this season and now 0-9, but his reappearance third over C&D (heavy) has worked out well and by the time he got in the clear at Doncaster last time the leaders had gone beyond recall (6f, good to soft; fifth); contender if this pans out more favourably.

Scored off this mark at Redcar (1m2f, good to soft) last October; kept on well on his last two starts at Beverley over 8.5f suggesting that a step back up in trip may be beneficial.

Only 1lb higher than for his Redcar win (1m2f, good to soft) in October but he's finished down the field in all four subsequent runs; wasn't beaten far over C&D 11 days ago but he's an infrequent winner and others are more persuasive.

Showed some promise last year for Harry Eustace (including on good ground; unproven on softer) and, having been gelded, he made a winning stable debut at Newcastle (6f, AW) four weeks ago; beat 13 rivals that day and could have more to offer; respected up 5lb.

In fine form at 6f on the AW of late, winning at Southwell and Newcastle; has a better strike-rate on sand than turf (1-17) but he was running to a similar level on grass as AW in 2025 and it may be unwise to presume he's a one-surface wonder; respected.

Won on nursery debut at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last December and he's edging back down the weights; didn't run badly when fifth on recent stable debut in Beverley seller (5f, good to firm; unraced on slow ground) but he needs a bigger performance now back in a handicap.

Both wins have been on AW and latest was 11 months ago; 0-15 on turf but he had a near-miss at Nottingham (5f, good) in July and has run respectably in two of his three subsequent runs; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets some luck.

Chased home Canaria Queen in a Nottingham classified event 11 days ago and 1lb better off for a head defeat today; ran another good race at Newcastle on Saturday, never nearer than at the finish; new blinkers replace cheekpieces; has the ability to win a race of this nature but he's an habitual slow starter so will always need some luck in running.

Encouraging fourth at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) last July on second start; reappears having been gelded and is not written off, but he was tailed off on his nursery debut last September when last seen (6f, good to soft) and others have more compelling claims.

0-9 and below best on both runs this year but she stayed on well over an inadequate 5f at Beverley (good to soft) last time; she's well handicapped on last autumn's 7f/1m form (including on soft ground) and could be in the shake-up now back up in trip.
