Form & Verdict
Progressive 2yo campaign featured a couple of 7f AW novice wins at Newcastle; far from solid on his form in turf handicaps this season but shapes as if this drop to 6f is worth exploring.

Scored over 5f here last April; without a victory since though and beat only one on the back of a wind operation in 5f Hamilton handicap last time; others appeal more.

Well handicapped on AW form; 0-12 on grass but ran well (1l second to Be Proud) over C&D most recently, producing easily his best effort in this sphere; good chance provided he backs it up.

No stranger to the Ayr winners' enclosure, winning five at this track (5f-7f), including this race two years ago; has struggled for form in two 5f spins at Musselburgh this year, which makes him hard to fancy; on the plus side, the handicapper is beginning to give him a chance.

Three wins over 5f last term (has form at 6f); however, has something to find on 2024 efforts and is perhaps best watched unless the market suggests a return to best is likely.

Just one win since October 2023 and that came on AW; operating off a reduced mark now though and he has been keeping on late in 5f handicaps this spring; has his first 6f start in nearly two years but a tongue-tie is now added and he's not discounted.
