Three-time AW winner who has rather stagnated in that sphere in 2026; record of 0-8 on turf but he was placed off higher marks in last two attempts; each-way possibilities, provided he's back in similar form.

Some ability in first three starts in the autumn and improved to finish third of seven on nursery debut over C&D last month; would have gone closer had he not hung and then been hampered; considered off the same mark.

Showed promise in her first three starts, but hasn't built on it since handicapping; dam's side of pedigree a cause of optimism for the longer trip, but she needs to get back on track; cheekpieces removed after one use.
