Fairly useful chaser who is 5-17 in that sphere, but he was a big price on Flat debut at Goodwood (1m6f maiden) two weeks ago and finished a well-held fourth of seven; that wasn't bad after a slow start but this is a daunting task in this Listed event and he has stacks to find on the figures.

Runner-up at Wincanton (2m4f, good) in March and comfortably went one better when dropped back to 2m1f at Cartmel (2m1f, good to soft) in May; a 6lb rise isn't harsh and he's unexposed at this sort of distance; player.

Won for the third time over fences at Worcester in October (2m, good; by 18l); has a chance on that run but best form has been at shorter (jumped poorly when well beaten on last completed run at 2m4f); acts on good to soft but he's not a real mudlark.

C&D (good) winner in April 2023 who also popped up at Taunton (2m2f, good to soft) in November 2024 following a 182-day break; just four starts since have included two solid efforts and it's possible he can have a say back from a 331-day absence; has a query on soft ground, however.
