Form & Verdict
Heavily backed prior to his winning debut at Ayr five weeks ago (6f, good to soft), overcoming inexperience to win narrowly; that was a lowly Band D maiden and this will be a stiffer test of his credentials but he's drawn in stall 1 and Sean D Bowen's claim helps offset the penalty; should do better.

T: Charles Hills

All three wins on ground slower than good, the latest two on heavy, and he's been taken out of races on good and quicker ground; rarely seen the best of him in 2025 but a latest close second of 15 at Doncaster (6f, good) offered hope; rain welcome; yard runs two.

There have been enough good runs since November's Redcar win to think this mark was in range and this race is much weaker than the Haydock handicap three weeks ago in which he weakened out of things only inside the final furlong; didn't look the easiest ride there but he still makes some each-way appeal back in a 0-60.

Prominent racer; close second at Newcastle (6f) last month but he failed to back it up at Southwell three weeks ago; all his best efforts have come on a straight course so perhaps can be given the benefit of the doubt for last time; one of two runners for the stable; not discounted.
