Form & Verdict
Improved markedly on debut run (gelded in between) to score cosily at Southwell (6f, AW) last month, and the second and third have already boosted the form; needs more progress to follow up but he's clearly going the right way and must be considered.

T: Tom Clover

His impressive Newmarket success last May saw him hit hard by the handicapper and he hasn't added to it; chasing home Sondad at Epsom (6f, soft) in June represented his best run of the year but he failed to build on it at Windsor last time; others look safer.

T: Tom Clover

Quite lightly raced since going up 11lb for a wide-margin win at Newmarket (6f, good) in May 2025, but a recent second on soft ground at Epsom (6f; cheekpieces refitted) was a useful effort at the weights and showed him to be back on track; should be in contention again.

Form & Verdict
Similar form when making winning debut at Tipperary (5f, soft; only start for Michael O'Callaghan) in May and when close third of five at Musselburgh (5f, good; wore tongue-strap) two weeks ago; should be suited by this longer trip; sets the standard for the others to aim at.
