Two Flat wins in Britain; ran in several good maiden hurdles; may find his level in handicaps now; tongue-tie fitted, market support would be significant, given how well Aidan Melia has done with Timurshah this season.

Form & Verdict
Ended a frustrating run of seconds when making all to get off the mark at Pontefract (1m4f, good) 22 days ago; not ideally drawn, particularly for a front-runner, but a possible off this 3lb higher mark.

He hasn't been at the top of his game over C&D on his last three starts but was on slow ground each time, which may not have suited; has an excellent record here otherwise (three-time C&D winner on good/good to firm) and he's 1lb below his last winning mark; can't be discounted.

Won twice over C&D for Ben Brookhouse last summer, including this race by a wide margin (cheekpieces first time) when rated just 1lb lower; only run to form once in four starts for George Baker this year and he was tailed off on soft ground here when last seen in June; Patrick Mullins has been booked this afternoon and not unreasonable to think this race has been on the agenda for a while; respected.

Form & Verdict
In good form with blinkers fitted over C&D for this yard this season, winning an apprentice event on reappearance (good to firm) and last time finishing a close second (good to soft; caught last stride) off 4lb higher; up another 2lb; should go well again.

Gained a first win of 2026 (in refitted cheekpieces) in 1m2f Goodwood handicap in June; not disgraced from a less-than-ideal draw with fifth of 11 at Chester (1m2f) last time; considered with cheekpieces back on here.

Only turf win was over 1m2f here in July 2022 (good); has found winning difficult since then although most of his runs have been on the AW; has a 5lb lower turf mark but just a fair turf run at Bath (1m2f) last time; can pull hard and well beaten on only previous try at 1m4f.

0-7; having been gelded and undergone wind surgery he made a promising return/stable debut when third of 16 at Wetherby (1m2f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces) last month, but twice held since including when around 5l behind Blueflagflyinghigh at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) nine days ago; switch to blinkers will need to make a difference.

Enjoyed a fine 2025 with seven wins at up to 2m; yet to score this season but arrives in good nick, fourth in 2m2f Musselburgh handicap two weeks ago; he's well in the mix off a 2lb lower mark with blinkers refitted.

J: Rowan Scott

T: Charlie Johnston

His strike-rate is better on AW than turf and this inconsistent 6yo was a tailed-off third at Southwell (2m, AW) in July last time; however, before that he was a close third of 20 in the Northumberland Vase at Newcastle (2m, AW) and he's shown some good turf form this season; capable of a big run.
