Dual Group 3 winner in his prime; very much on the downgrade now but suggested he might be ready to exploit some help from the handicapper when a keeping-on third at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month.

1lb lower than when scoring in an amateur riders' event at Goodwood (1m, good) in June, but hard to win with these days and latest close third of six came in a Newcastle seller (1m, Tapeta); look elsewhere.

Form & Verdict
Won 7f novice here on debut in November 2023 and, following a 13-month absence, quickened best to justify odds-on favouritism in tactical C&D novice in December; makes his handicap debut today and the limit of his ability remains very hard to gauge.

J: Ray Dawson

Progressive most starts in 2025 and a strong finish took him to within a nose of victory against an all-the-way winner in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket (1m1f, good to firm) on final outing; raised 4lb after that big-race performance but should still be of major interest if tuned up for this return.

Won at Sandown (1m, good) in July then fourth of 16 at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good), before winning competitive Racing League handicap at Southwell (1m, AW); appeared to be outstayed over this trip at Goodwood but this 4yo has a progressive profile and could be in the shake-up.

Lightly raced 4yo who got off the mark in handicaps when dropped back to 1m at Sandown last month; another big run when fourth of 16 at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f), where he shaped as though the return to 1m would suit; has won on Tapeta and he's one to consider.

Form & Verdict
Dual C&D winner; seemed to have lost his way a bit last summer but returned from break with quite encouraging fifth of eight over C&D in December; remains on a good mark and has possibilities if that run brought him on.

J: Kieran Shoemark

T: Julie Camacho

Lightly raced since winning this last year off a 7lb lower mark; dictated steady fractions when winning his penultimate race at Newcastle (1m) and then well held off this rating at Southwell; may need everything to go like clockwork if he's to repeat last year's win off this higher mark.

Form & Verdict
Placed on three of his five turf starts last year and was evidently well suited by the switch to Tapeta when making all to win a C&D maiden by over 7l in December; tackles much stronger opposition today but could still have untapped potential on this surface.
