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.

Hard to fancy on the evidence of the last 12 months but he was useful in his prime and he's one to watch in the betting off a reduced mark on his third start for this yard.

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.

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.

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.
