Excellent progress last term included three handicap wins (1m2f, 1m6f and 2m) in March-July and an agonisingly close call in the Melrose at York in August; close fourth in 1m6f Listed race at Ascot on final outing; well below that form on 2026 reappearance but that may have put him right.

Progressing well, including three handicap wins (1m2f, 1m6f and 2m) this season and he went agonisingly close in the 1m6f Melrose at York on latest outing; all 2025 races have been on good or firmer but he won on soft as 2yo; respected for that improvement but plenty more is needed at this level.

Sea The Moon colt who has shown fairly useful form in both starts, winning a maiden on the July course here (1m, good) then second in Epsom conditions race (8.5f, heavy; held a Group 1 entry at the time); bred to stay this longer trip and remains open to progress; respected.

Not proven on firmer than good (one attempt); second of nine at Salisbury (1m6f, good) in May was his closest finish since 2yo, making most and rallying well; disappointing latest start but that Salisbury run was his only appearance this season over this trip (the rest were 2m); not totally ruled out in his search for first win since debut.

Blinkered on four of his last five starts; flopped when 5-4 favourite behind Elysian Flame at Beverley (2m, good to soft) in April but this month's second of nine at Salisbury (1m6f, good; made most and rallied well) was his closest finish since 2yo and gives some renewed hope.

Form & Verdict
Thrice-raced colt; prevailed only narrowly at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) most recently but may well build on that success and show further improvement; bred to stay this longer distance; big player, provided he takes to first-time headgear.

Improved with each of his first three 2yo runs, getting off the mark at Thirsk in September (7f, good to soft); looked to find 1m an inadequate test here on his reappearance 17 days ago (first run since a gelding operation) and can do better over today's longer trip.

Form dipped slightly at this course (7f, soft) last month; steadily progressive otherwise in handicaps, winning three times (7f/1m, good/good to firm), and may still have more offer; bred to stay this new trip and can't be written off.

Went close on nursery debut at Beverley (7.4f, soft) in July and won her next two (7f, good to firm); beaten about 3l when third of five to Brindavan at Kempton (1m, AW) three weeks ago but she could improve upon that latest form if getting a stronger gallop; not ruled out.

Has shown some improvement (on AW) since switched to nursery level, dead-heating at Wolverhampton (9.5f) then fourth at Newcastle (1m2f); faces a stiffer task from 9lb out of the handicap in this better grade.

Dual 1m2f winner in this month last year, latterly off mark 4lb higher than today's; yet to strike form after three starts this season but was unlucky to be brought down on second occasion, and her subsequent third of five at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) was respectable; dangerous if back in the groove.
