Rarely seen on a downhill track but ran a corking race in Group 3 over C&D as 2yo; often well below best in 2026 but intermittent flashes of form have lightened the gloom, including when a close fourth at Pontefract (5f, good to firm; first-time visor, retained) latest; on the risky side overall.

Kylian

9st 5lb

J: Paul Mulrennan

T: Robert Cowell

His mark continues to fall and there were promising signs at Newcastle (5f, AW) in June; however, two lesser runs have followed and he has to turn things around in a first-time visor (has worn cheekpieces/blinkers this term).

Record of 4-22 on AW; no win since 2023 but has consistent handicap form this winter, going close on a few occasions, and faced a stiff task at Listed level last time; fighting chance off current mark.

Form & Verdict
Has a better strike-rate on AW than turf and he followed up a win over C&D in December with another at Lingfield 12 days ago; thriving at present and commands major respect despite an ascending mark.

J: Marco Ghiani

T: Robert Cowell

Always tended to be hot and cold in the past, so disappointing he didn't fare better at Lingfield (AW) latest given a decent record there; not a lot of wiggle room off this mark and is now tried in first-time cheekpieces (wore blinkers twice as a 2yo).

J: Luke Morris

T: Robert Cowell

Two wins and a close second to his name in four runs over C&D; tended to be hot and cold in the past, twice winning back-to-back, which bodes well after bouncing back off 4lb lower at Yarmouth last time; goes well for Luke Morris too.

Form & Verdict
Edged out Bedford Flyer at Southwell just before Christmas with a strong late run, making it 2-3 on AW, and he wasn't disgraced (bit short of room) over 6f at Chelmsford next time; impossible to rule out.

J: Cam Hardie

Can take a nap at the start; best form of 2025 in good 5f Hamilton races during June, going close (good to soft) before leading near the line (good) but he hasn't been running badly in competitive sprints of late; the expected strong pace can suit now he's back at 5f and returned to this grade.

Close second at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June and went one better there (5f, good) 11 days later; effective over 6f in the past; however, down the field on his last two outings and needs to get back on track.
