Form & Verdict
Showed promise when third of nine on his Windsor debut (1m2f, good to soft) in April and was beaten just half a length at Nottingham (1m2f, good) 11 days later (winner has since followed up); this extra furlong on a stiffer track should suit him ideally on breeding and he ought to be hard to beat.

Not quite at his best at Kempton last month but that came after 94 days off and he could improve for it; held up in slowly run race at Kempton in October when 2l fourth on his sole previous crack at 2m, and he may yet be capable of better at this sort of trip; has won here and could be involved.

Won twice in 2024, including over 1m4f on Tapeta; had only five runs last year but he went close on two occasions, including in a Class 2 at Southwell (1m4f) in November; 2lb higher on his return but he hit a personal best last time and he's a key player on this drop back in grade.

Promising when third of 12 on his Newmarket debut (1m, soft) last October (form worked out well), but has gone backwards in two starts since including on his Newbury reappearance (1m2f, good to soft) in April; needs to turn things around.

Modest form on last two starts when fourth of nine at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) and fifth of eight at this track (1m3f, good to firm); now qualified for handicaps and should be more interesting but whether he's ready to take a winning step forward may be in doubt.

Still a maiden after nine races but he's come down the weights and kept on well to go down by a head when front-running second of nine at Newcastle (AW) last time, when stepped up to 2m in second-time visor; that suggests he can make the breakthrough as a stayer.
