Form & Verdict
Sole win from nine races was at Leicester (1m4f, good to soft) in June; best form over same trip at Salisbury (good to firm) and Newmarket (good) last two outings; has been ridden prominently in those 1m4f races and looks well worth a go at 1m6f but four of today's rivals are far more lightly raced.

Scored twice (at 1m4f/1m6f) for William Muir and Chris Grassick in summer of 2024; very lightly raced and has shown little since for his current yard though, hooded when last of seven in 8.5f Wolverhampton handicap 27 days ago; Polytrack debutant.

Form & Verdict
Has won three of his six handicaps and came second in the others; last two wins were over C&D (good to firm/good) on his last two outings, coming from last in both and that was no mean feat in a nine-runner race last time when he prevailed by a head after persistently hanging right; 4lb rise is likely to underestimate him.

Form & Verdict
Close second of four at Haydock (11.6f) in June on reappearance and delivered a strong late bid to justify odds of 4-9 in a maiden over that same C&D (again good to firm) 15 days later; brings clear potential upped to 1m6f on this handicap debut.

Strong late bid to justify odds of 4-9 in a maiden at Haydock (11.5f, good to firm) last June; that was in between two good efforts, albeit wandering when third of six on handicap debut at Sandown (1m6f, good) in July latest; gelded this March; after just four races, may have more to offer.

Did it well when making a winning debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, Tapeta) in December, but having been sent off 15-8 favourite he proved disappointing when only beating one home on his Newbury reappearance (1m2f, good to soft) in April; returns from a gelding operation with something to prove.
