Form & Verdict
Ran a subsequent winner close at Doncaster (6f, soft) in November and comfortably off the mark on his return from ten weeks off in a Class 2 novice at Lingfield (7f, Polytrack) last month; this 260,000gns half-brother to the smart sprinter Vadream may appreciate the return to this trip on handicap debut and is respected.

Seemed in the doldrums prior to third of ten at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) last Saturday; had slipped in the weights and he's well treated on the pick of his 3yo form; not ruled out.

Scored three times for previous yard but is 0-8 for current stable and not particularly solid on 2026 form that includes mostly duck eggs, beaten 8l with tongue-tie fitted at Glorious Goodwood most recently; perhaps best watched unless the market speaks favourably.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Stuart Williams

Scored at York for Andrew Balding on his last run in this grade; quite highly tried in seven starts for this yard but he was far from disgraced when third of five in a Swedish Listed event (7f, good) one month ago; tongue-tie added and he has one of the widest stalls to contend with, however.

Form & Verdict
Brother to Ayr Gold Cup winner Nahaarr (RPR 119); 2-2 in novices last month, winning over C&D before an emphatic success at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta); has to give upwards of 10lb to his rivals on handicap debut, but he looks a nice prospect and shouldn't be taken lightly.

Started his career with a progressive spell on AW that culminated in Listed success; has failed to transfer that form to turf since and may be more interesting when returned to an artificial surface.

Very progressive on AW this year, including a 7f Listed race win at Lingfield, but below that level switched to turf the last twice; bit too soon to suggest he won't prove fully effective on the grass but he has it prove for now.

Unraced at two; very progressive on AW this year, winning Listed event at Lingfield (sole 7f attempt) the final time; disappointing favourite at Ascot (6f Group 3) on the switch to turf but can't be written off; may still have more to offer.

Form & Verdict
Record on AW reads 32113 including nursery wins at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) and Kempton (6f, Polytrack) last year; fair third of nine back at Newcastle (just behind Yes I'm Mali) three weeks ago, but he probably needs a bit more if he is to regain the winning thread.

Solid record over 6f features a couple of AW wins; ran creditably at Chester on the return to turf but seemed to be outstayed over 7f at Goodwood (good) since; may need a drop back in distance.

Form & Verdict
Won three times over 5f-6f last year and has proved consistent since switching to Tapeta (1222) with his last three starts coming off this mark; likely to try his best, but this will be his 12th start and he looks vulnerable to an improver.

Thirsk winner (6f, good; from 6lb lower) in April; various near misses since, including at Newmarket and York, and as recently as last week at Thirsk (beaten a head); high draw is helpful, the prospect of rain-softened ground less so; still rates a player.

Form & Verdict
Highly tried after winning a valuable Newmarket novice (5f, good) for Richard Hannon last April, but he never really built on that success; changed hands for 42,000gns in October and makes his stable debut in first-time cheekpieces having been gelded since last seen; watch market.
