Form & Verdict
On a hat-trick after winning over 1m2f at Doncaster before answering the stamina question upped to 1m3f on Kempton AW in August; a further 4lb rise is unlikely to rein him in if handling this surface after a break.

Ten-time AW winner who is 5lb lower than when winning at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last November; however, this is his first run since January and he was well beaten at Ascot in May 2024 on his last encounter with turf; 0-5 on grass and others have less to prove.

Starts slowly; heavy ground and an inadequate 1m excuse recent defeats; in fine form earlier, sealing a hat-trick with C&D win in course record time in August; could well get the strong pace he needs and produce another career-best off 5lb higher.

In the veteran stage now but his two runs at York this term prove he still retains ability, latterly when sticking on into midfield in valuable 10.5f event a fortnight ago; his sole start at 1m4f (in December 2024) returned his best RPR and this second attempt is well worth another go.

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Ed Walker

Did well to finish fifth of 16 over C&D (good) on reappearance four weeks ago having been hampered soon after the start and raced wide; however, he goes well fresh so may not improve for that outing, and it's likely this 9yo will be vulnerable against numerous unexposed contenders.

Form & Verdict
Acts well on Polytrack, unraced on Tapeta; improved form when stymied by Fantasy Believer's late burst at Newmarket (1m2f) in July 2023 and he's favoured by these weights; had just two runs since but looked to retain plenty of ability on Kempton AW recently; contender if handling the surface.
