Scored at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f) last summer; has taken well to AW, posting a solid effort at Southwell then readily beating Dream Harder at Wolverhampton (1m4f); could well have more to offer this winter and warrants respect up just 4lb.

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Alan King

Probably acts on good to soft, much more to prove on soft; reliable 7yo who's never been better than this season (1m2f-2m); also seems to have found his limits but perhaps a handicap such as this will suit him better than the much smaller-field Group/Listed race's he's contested on last three starts.

Six-time winner on the Flat over shorter trips than this (1m1f-1m4f), including at this track in 2023; beaten about 5l when fifth of seven in a Group 3 over this C&D in May (behind Lazy Griff and ahead of Furthur and Duke Of Oxford) but that was steadily run and he didn't fully prove his stamina; stable won this with Trueshan in 2024 but this 7yo has a bit to find to reverse placings with Lazy Griff.

7yo who has a good record here and has been better than ever in AW handicaps this year, and he wasn't beaten far when fifth of six in Group 2 Jockey Club Stakes at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; however, his form needs to go to a new level and he's unraced beyond 1m4f on the Flat.

Form & Verdict
Shaped quite encouragingly at Southwell (1m3f) this month on debut for new stable and first AW start since 2021, taking form figures in this sphere to 3114; he's 1-1 at Kempton (easy win) and interesting back here.

J: Cieren Fallon

Mostly competitive off reduced marks for new yard this season and Haydock (1m2f, good to firm) five weeks ago saw him lead final 1f to break a long losing run, doing it in good style too; back up 5lb but he used to be effective on a range of ground and has returned to serious calculations.

Low-mileage 6yo who beat Andaleep in the 2024 final of this series and comfortably followed up in lower grade last time, making it 2-2 under Sean Dylan Bowen; those wins took his AW record to 4-6 and Kempton score to 3-4; progressing well and all of his positives outweigh being 2lb out of the handicap.
