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.

J: Mr Eireann Cagney

Acts on good to firm and soft; all five wins have been on turf and he's scored three times since May including at Redcar (1m2f, good) last Saturday; that was a narrow success but he's only 2lb higher and he has won at Ripon in the past; key player.

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.

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.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Tony Carroll

He had been upset in the stalls when unable to justify favouritism on his stable debut in June but made no mistake when making all under Silvestre De Sousa at Ripon (6f, good) four weeks ago; 8lb rise still leaves him well treated on old form and he's of firm interest.

He's regressed and is winless since scoring over C&D in July 2024; only fourth of six on stable debut at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago but he was the 7-4 favourite and got upset in the stalls, and may have needed that run; interesting to see if he's again strong in the betting.

Two wins came over 6f in 2023 and 2024 when trained by Tim Easterby; no joy in four starts for David Loughnane and steps back to 5f on his stable debut; on a career-low mark and market watch is advised.
