Inconsistent sort who made it 1-20 on turf (that grass win came here in 2yo campaign) when well beaten at Royal Ascot last month; however, two starts ago he was a close sixth in the Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m, good to firm) when he was denied a clear run, and he's not ruled out.

Eye-catcher, amid traffic issues, in the Thirsk Hunt Cup last time; form over C&D comprises a respectable eighth (off current mark) in this contest last year and creditable third (did well having been hampered) later in 2025; still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf, however.

Blew the start when one of four co-favourites at Lingfield three weeks ago but his two runs before that (7f at Kempton) were perfectly creditable; returning to 1m today looks a positive move and he's now 5lb lower than his last winning mark; interesting contender in first-time headgear.

9st 8lb

J: Rossa Ryan

T: Stuart Williams

Triple C&D winner who took advantage of a reduced mark when coming from rear to score at Brighton (7f, good) in August; remains well treated on old form but his spark was missing at Kempton last time and he needs to step up again after that.

Form & Verdict
Best efforts when racing up with the pace; made all at Musselburgh (1m) in November but ran poorly behind Apiarist on AW debut at Newcastle the following month; has something to prove after that.

Inconsistent and has failed to shine on last two starts but may have been unsuited by soft ground then Tapeta; runner-up at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) in August then fifth of 15 at Thirsk (7f, good) where he was denied a clear run, and it will be no surprise if he bounces back with a big effort.

He hasn't been at his very best this year and a refusal to settle is becoming an issue; however, he was returning from a break at Doncaster three weeks ago and that run may have got the freshness out of him; impressive when winning two in a row over C&D last autumn and not written off.
