Form & Verdict
Won over C&D in 2022; belied his 25-1 odds with a clearcut success at Bath (11.5f, good; off 4lb lower) last month on return from 467-day absence and looks a major player provided he avoids the bounce factor.

J: Ben Ffrench Davis

T: Dominic Ffrench Davis

Front-runner; gained back-to-back wins in the middle of 2022 and 2024 and has done so again this year following recent victories at Chepstow (1m4f, good) and Windsor (good); the hat-trick has just eluded him so far, but hard to rule out in his current form.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Dominic Ffrench Davis

Front-runner; it's eyecatching that he's won over this trip in his only two handicap starts at Windsor (2022 and August 2024); last year's was middle leg of a hat-trick (following a long break) on wide range of ground and he reappeared with a Chepstow win four weeks ago; up 6lb to career-high mark but did it well and looks sure to have a big shout.

Form & Verdict
Sole success came over hurdles; form for current stable includes a few respectable efforts on AW; chance of winning partly depends on whether he improves for first-time hood and reapplied tongue-tie.

Now only 1lb higher than when scoring at Sedgefield (2m1f, good) for Milton Harris a year ago but both recent runs for Sylvester Kirk were disappointing and he needs to have been perked up by latest stable switch; cheekpieces refitted.
