Form & Verdict
Improved on novice/maiden form when making a successful handicap debut at Nottingham in June (8.5f, good); too free on soft ground next time but he ran well at Newbury last month when finding himself poorly positioned; he'll need a good test around here but leaves the impression there's a bigger run lurking.

Useful handicapper at about 1m, winning five times; did well to finish third in the Lincoln at Doncaster in sole outing this term, having come from a difficult position; each-way possibilities, provided he copes with the drop back to 7f for first time since his early days.

Inconsistent last season but he ran a big race first time up when runner-up at Newmarket (1m, good) and he won at Goodwood (1m, good to firm) in August; versatile ground-wise and he might not be far away on his reappearance, for a yard that won this in 2023.

Form & Verdict
Minor ability when sprinting as a 2yo but he's flourished for a step up in trip for his new yard this season, winning a 7f handicap here on his return in April and adding two 7.5f wins on fast turf at Lingfield; worth another crack at 1m but he's up 6lb for winning a modest event 13 days ago; another career best required.

Nine-race maiden but he ran some good races last season, including a third at Windsor (1m, good to firm) and a second at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW); looks interesting on that form and he had an excuse when dropped to 6f on Windsor reappearance last month; now has another crack at 7f but he's well handicapped if he can bounce back near best.
