Form & Verdict
Now 2lb lower than when winning at Kempton (1m, AW) last September and he may get back on track at some point; however, his best form is on AW and he's failed to threaten on turf on either outing this season.

Has lost the plot since winning over C&D in high summer, including back on Tapeta last time; has it all to prove now and is some way down the pecking order.

Form & Verdict
Perhaps soft/heavy ground has been against him on his two runs this season and he's on a handy mark on his best 2yo efforts; however, he nevertheless has plenty to prove after those heavy defeats this year.

J: Aiden Brookes

T: Iain Jardine

Winner at Redcar (2m, good to soft) and Musselburgh (1m6f, soft; by 10l) last term; not disgraced back on Flat at Newcastle (1m4f) in March; cheekpieces get their first airing since October and stepping back up in trip should suit, so he needs a close look.

3 yo Gelding

OR: 71

Form & Verdict
His form went the wrong way after he showed early promise last May-August; however, it's possible he needed last month's stable and seasonal debut at York and the dam's side of his pedigree provides optimism regarding this first venture beyond 7f.

J: Rhys Elliott

T: Michael Dods

Useful effort in defeat at Beverley (about 7f) last May and confirmed that stiff tracks suit when winning here (7f, good to firm; sole course start) in August; improved again when successful at Ayr later and no surprise if he comes on plenty from first two runs in 2026.

All four wins over 7f, once on this track; probably stays further and is worth another go over 1m but he was last to finish on his comeback here over 7f in April and likely other days.

J: Connor Beasley

C&D winner; two wins in the second half of 2025 and he ended that campaign with a good second of 15 at Leicester in October; runs off the same mark but he could only manage a midfield finish in this race on his reappearance 12 months ago.

Form & Verdict
Made debut in April and has improved with each of her three runs, finishing a fair fifth at Lingfield (1m1f, good to firm) latest; now goes handicapping off a realistic mark and this well-bred filly could continue to progress.

Runner-up on handicap and seasonal debut at Windsor (1m, good) in April then went one better there (1m, good to firm) last month, despite a bad early stumble; holds strong claims up 4lb for last time.

Off the mark in 1m Windsor handicap last May but he's had only three runs since and has struggled in all of them; now back on his winning mark but he flopped when favourite at Leicester in April and needs a major revival after a break.
