Debut 6f winner (good) who has been unable to better that effort or add to that success in 11 further starts; well beaten twice since switching to his current trainer but it's not long since this would have looked a very handy mark and he would be a big player if bouncing back.

Never threatened when backed into 7-2 on his stable debut at Newcastle (6f) in January but remains one who could click for this yard and it will be interesting to see whether there is money for him again now back on turf after 95 days off.

J: Lauren Young

T: Jim Goldie

Made a winning debut (6f, good; strong favourite) at Hamilton as a 2yo and then pitched into the Coventry Stakes for his second start; went 0-7 in handicaps in 2025 but there was the odd promising effort along the way; dropped 15lb during that period and new stable (sold out of Richard Fahey's stable for 32,000gns last October) quick to drop him in trip; could go well.

Front-runner; came well clear in 7f Catterick maiden as 2yo but he has a mixed record in handicaps and was well seen off on the AW last time out; dropping in weights and now goes without the hood.

Bolted up in a Catterick maiden (7f, good to firm) last August, but he's finished down the field in three handicaps since including in two runs at Beverley this season; dropped another 2lb but he was well below form last time and has something to prove on this switch to AW.

The form of her two wins is far superior to the form of her two defeats; had no trouble defying a penalty at Lingfield (6f, soft; first win on good to firm) and on her day she's clearly useful; doesn't look on too bad a mark.

C&D winner in November and added to tally when making all over 6f at this course in January; failed to recover from a tardy start at Southwell next time and wasted no time showing he's still in form when third back here (6f again) 23 days ago; respected.
