Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict
Dual AW winner (1m3f/1m4f), who is unexposed on turf and may been stretched over an extended 1m6f at Doncaster (good to firm) three weeks ago; ran well for a long way in that race and he could make a bold bid on this drop back in trip.

Generally struggled for Roger Varian last year and, after 24,000gns sale in October, he's been tailed off in two runs for new yard this spring; dropped another 4lb but he needs a major turnaround back up in trip; blinkers removed.

Ended a long losing run when scoring at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last month; respectable efforts in next two starts and he had an excuse here last time, when he got hampered by a faller; now only 1lb higher than for that last success and he's not ruled out.

Out of the money at Chelmsford last time but otherwise has a solid record on turf and AW (221) for new yard this term; looks worth a try at this new trip and has possibilities if he can get back near best.

Dual course winner (1m2f; last win October 2024); has beaten just a single rival in his last three appearances (1m2f-12.5f) and, while he has eased 11lb over that period (and is claimer ridden), it's tough to form an argument.

Wide-margin winner at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) in July and followed up with a narrow success at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) last month; the runner-up has won since and he has good claims in his bid for the hat-trick, with the return to 2m no problem having finished second over this C&D in January.

Eventually drew clear from two rivals at Yarmouth (1m6f, good to firm) last week, having taken a while to respond to Billy Loughnane's urgings; previously effective over 1m4f and, even with 4lb penalty, remains well treated on peak form.

Form & Verdict
Improved his record to 2-6 when justifying favouritism with an all-the-way win at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm; hood removed) 18 days ago; hit a personal best on that switch to fast ground and he remains feasibly treated after a 3lb rise; big player again for in-form yard.
