Landed a gamble over C&D 12 months ago (in this combination of accessories for the first time); ended 2025 quietly and he was well beaten on last month's return to action (no accessories); has plenty to prove but it wouldn't be a total bolt from the blue were he to revive.

Sole victory came first time up last season, back from a similar break, so has that in his favour; lost his way in 2025, however, and the usual hood and tongue-tie are both missing.

Sole win (from 23 attempts) came in AW classified in January; however, she's run well off this mark in turf handicaps on her last four starts (5f/6f, good/good to firm) and there's every chance she'll be bang there.

Not at his best on turf lately but is consistent on Tapeta (224133), the win coming by a short head off 1lb higher in a nursery over C&D last November; 5lb lower than when third of eight at Southwell (5f, Tapeta) in April and interesting back on the AW.

Disappointed as favourite in a 6f handicap here six weeks ago but he is well handicapped on his 3yo best and he was notably short in the betting prior to being withdrawn at Doncaster last month (bolted to post); headstrong sort but more than capable of playing a role if not overdoing it in the preliminaries.

Progressive last spring, following a 5f AW win with a ready 6f win at this track (good to firm); mixed bag since then but his penultimate fourth at Wolverhampton was encouraging; failed to back it up ten days later but no doubt the ability is there and he's well handicapped now.
