Has a good record on soft and heavy ground, including when dominant from the front at Chester (1m2f, heavy) last month; not disgraced off this 8lb higher mark six days later and might resume progress back in the mud.

Record of 1-11 for Hugo Palmer, the win at Windsor (1m, good) last October; sold for £15,000 since last run; nicely weighted and has given the impression that 1m2f is worth exploring.

One 1m win for Hugo Palmer (11 races) and a solid start for this yard when runner-up at Chester (1m2f, heavy) in September; not nearly so good on latest start and, having worn blinkers twice in 2023, now tries cheekpieces.

Seven-race maiden; peak effort when solid third off this mark here (1m4f, good) in May; quite interesting back at this venue, assuming he takes well to first-time headgear.

No wins in eight; back from being gelded when a 2.5l fourth at Southwell (1m4f) but he hung left on the heavy ground (and in new cheekpieces) when a well-held third at Chester; others look safer.

AW winner who is 0-8 on turf but has some encouraging form in this sphere, close second upped to 1m2f at Epsom (good) most recently; should remain competitive back up just 2lb.

Heavy ground the likely reason for his modest effort at Chester (1m2f) last month, but was only been beaten a neck over the same trip at Epsom (good) the time before; record on the AW reads 321 and stable 31-131 (24%) here in past five seasons; respected.
