Form & Verdict
Signed off for Brett Johnson with two disappointing efforts in September but returned from layoff with ready win at Lingfield (1m, AW) a week ago; still looks well handicapped under a 5lb penalty here and the different trip-and-surface combination will also suit; good chance.

Habitual slow starter; made a flying start to life with this yard in the summer, winning handicaps at Lingfield (1m, AW), Chepstow (1m2f) and Chelmsford (1m2f, AW); not so good the last twice but those runs were on slow ground; return to AW in his favour but still to convince he needs this far.

Probably found 1m a bit too sharp when respectable fourth at Bath (soft) in April and is now only 2lb higher than when winning for Brodie Hampson at Windsor (11.4f, heavy) in the autumn; will also be suited by the much faster ground here; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Almost always loses ground at the start but has made the frame twice over 1m2f this spring and ran much better than the bare form suggests when only eighth at Bath last time, having persistently been denied a clear run; continues to edge down the weights; each-way claims at least.

Without a win since 2022 and has plummeted down the weights since the autumn but was unlucky not to finish much closer to the target when sixth at Bath (1m2f, good) last month, where he was denied a clear run and hampered 1f out, and would be a very poignant winner for the stable in this particular race.

The last six of his seven wins have been at Ffos Las and four of the last five were on heavy going, including two over 1m2f last month; latest win was under Jessica Llewellyn and by 16l, but an 11lb higher mark has now kicked in; that, and the way he's drawn a blank at other tracks and over 1m3f/1m4f, pours some cold water on his chance.
