Has returned from nearly two years off in terrific form on the Flat, winning a slowly run race at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) and coming right away at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) ten days later; good second at Brighton (1m4f) on Tuesday; well handicapped under a penalty if he can keep up the good work after just a two-day break.

A fairly useful 2m3f hurdles winner in May, 2022, who has been in excellent form since returning on the Flat this summer, bagging a third win at Chelmsford (1m6f) nine days ago; he's not taken lightly back in this sphere.

Mostly hurdling since trained in Britain but he's returned from nearly two years off in terrific form on the Flat, winning on AW (1m4f) on second run back and coming right away at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) last week; a big rise looms so his claims are very obvious with no penalty.

Form & Verdict
Won at Lingfield (2m, Polytrack) in January and Nottingham (1m6f) in June, while his close fourth at York (2m) on penultimate start was another creditable effort; got upset in the stalls when below form on latest; player if straight back to form.

W: 10st 1lb

6 yo Gelding

OR: 71

Form & Verdict
His solid campaign for new yard this year includes three wins, the latest over 1m2f here in early August; latest start saw his closest finish from six attempts at 1m4f but that Lingfield race won by Saint Riquier was very slowly run, so his record over shorter trips remains more persuasive; more to prove on this first crack at 1m6f.

Habitual slow starter; made a flying start to life with this yard in the summer, winning handicaps at Lingfield (1m, AW), Chepstow (1m2f) and Chelmsford (1m2f, AW); not so good the last twice but those runs were on slow ground; return to AW in his favour but still to convince he needs this far.

Form & Verdict
On the up since joining her current yard and she scored last month over about 1m4f at Windsor, Wolverhampton (AW) and Musselburgh; led over 1f out under Sean D Bowen last time before holding on by a nose; unraced beyond that but 1m6f is plausible and it's rash to rule out further progress; player.
