Runner-up in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, soft) last September when first home on his side; repeated a 2025 Epsom win (6f, soft) early last month; first of his small group when ninth in the Wokingham; generally dependable sort; stable won this in 2016.

C&D winner on good to firm last May; classy handicap form when runner-up in the Ayr Silver Cup (6f, soft) last September when first home on his side, which wasn't the first time he's had a difficult track position; carries a penalty for recent Epsom win (6f, soft; his second win in that race) but no surprise if he does better again as a 5yo; respected.

Only fourth off this mark at Southwell last week but this track seems to suit him ideally and he is 3-4 over C&D; not sure he is fully exposed at 7f just yet and he looks a major player.

Invigorated by a step up to 7f this winter, winning three times at Newcastle; latest success was smooth and a 4lb rise does not look harsh; leading contender again if proving equally effective at Southwell.

Form & Verdict
Exposed sort; front-runner; second over 7f/1m on Tapeta/good on first three starts; not so good next two runs and was tailed off when tried over 1m2f last time (AW); may do better on first run at 6f with blinkers tried.

0-9 but finished runner-up in his first two career starts at this venue (7f/1m) at the start of the year; an extra furlong may suit him ideally now, but the drop in class and return here make him interesting.

Runner-up in his first three starts earlier in the year and filled the same position with a tongue-tie added over C&D a fortnight ago; a stiffer test may suit him ideally, but still one for the shortlist off 1lb higher.

Form dipped last time but generally consistent and may rebound; however, 0-7 since debut win and chance of doubling his tally depends on how well he responds to first-time headgear.

Sole win (seven races) was debut last June; ran respectably in his first three handicaps (one on turf, on good ground) and reappeared with a good front-running second over this trip on Wolverhampton AW 13 days ago; same mark today and has a chance if the form is repeated.
