Went up 7lb for his 1m2f Lingfield success (good to firm) in May; doesn't look well handicapped and the tongue-tie didn't make much of a difference at Sandown last time.

A dual 1m2f scorer in 2024 for Simon and Ed Crisford; failed to fire for Susan Corbett last year, though, and he came in a below-par fifth for his new yard in 1m Bath handicap last month; not easy to make a case for.

Dual Flat winner over 1m2f on good to firm in 2024 but no impact in 2025; didn't really take to hurdling and left Susan Corbett for £5,000 in December; hood and tongue-tie are removed on this debut for new yard.

Won twice from off the pace in June (1m, good to firm) and things haven't panned out favourably for him the last twice; retains potential and gives the impression that 1m2f will suit; interesting.

0-9 on AW but caught the eye over 10.5f on debut for this stable in early December, keeping on for fifth and not far behind Nakasero (7lb better off now); unsuited by 1m the last twice and could improve plenty for this longer trip; interesting.

Soft ground likely to blame for the blip on penultimate start; this 1m2f Windsor winner got back on track with a near miss at Sandown (1m, good to firm) and he was nicely clear of the fourth; big player now back over further.

Can take a hold so needs a good pace to aim at, which he had when winning at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in August; still 2lb higher, but this may also be run to suit him so very much frame material.

The latest of three turf wins was at Windsor (1m2f) two weeks ago; one respectable effort on dirt at Jebel Ali in early 2024 but unraced on AW in Britain and he likely needs something new for Tapeta if he's to defy his current mark.

Has regressed on the Flat since winning small-field Bath handicap for another stable a year ago; made fairly encouraging hurdle debut when keeping on for modest third at Plumpton (2m, good) last month but needs to build on that performance here and has since refused to race on the Flat.
