9st 4lb |
Beat Hawksbill when winning in a big field at Newbury and didn't look in love with the track when narrowly defying a penalty at Ripon (1m, good); now faces his stiffest test and may find a couple too strong. |

40-1 and slowly away when near-3l fourth of 12 on last month's debut at Salisbury (6f, good to firm), coming from much further back than the first three; could relish today's extra furlong and he's one to consider. |

9st 2lb |
Only real blip in five runs at two was in the Royal Lodge and when sights were lowered for his comeback run he pushed a subsequent Listed winner close despite racing too freely; perhaps more exposed than some of these but has solid form claims. |

Sole juvenile win came over 1m at Haydock in August; good fourth in Listed race next time and might have been unsuited by soft ground when well held in Group 2 Royal Lodge at Newmarket final start; may still have untapped potential and must be considered on AW debut/reappearance. |

Promising third at Newbury (7f, good) last July on sole 2yo start and reappeared with a win there (1m, good) last month; further improvement is needed if he's to defy a penalty today but he should continue to progress and is entitled to respect. |

12th Apr 2025 Good 1m 0f 7y Class 4 |

120,000gns yearling; by Blue Point but has stamina in his pedigree; can pick holes in the form of the third here last July (7f, good) and his second run has been a while coming, but looks sure to make a better 3yo; stable won both divisions of this maiden in 2019 and another in 2021. |

Won on debut at Kempton (7f, AW) last June and runner-up in Southwell handicap (1m, AW) this month on reappearance, having been gelded (albeit no match for the winner Dividend); could improve for that latest outing but his best form has come on AW so there's a question to answer back on turf. |

Promising fourth of 20 on debut here in May (6f, good) for Brian Meehan; of interest on that performance but a lesser run followed here (6.5f, good to firm) and he has to bounce back on stable debut (remains in same ownership). |

Runner-up in a Yarmouth maiden (7f, good to firm) on second start; flopped next time but bounced back when produced late to win a seven-runner nursery at Southwell (7f, AW) in November; up 4lb but that performance and his sire give plenty of hope for 1m2f. |

28-1, beaten about 5l when seventh of 11 on last month's debut at Windsor (6f, good to firm; gelded since); however, he stumbled over 2f out and had to wait for room, and he shaped as though today's extra furlong would prompt improvement; each-way possibilities. |

Six-race maiden; sold out of Brian Meehan's yard for 20,000gns after final 2yo start; shaped encouragingly at Newcastle (7f, AW) on debut for shrewd new connections and is likely to build on that effort; dam's side suggests he'll stay this new trip; shortlisted. |
