Form & Verdict
The addition of a visor and returning to 6f has turned things around, with a win at Newcastle in December before he bumped into one that was even further ahead of her mark in early January; back from three months off with an easy Southwell win four weeks ago; strong claims for an in-form stable.

9st 4lb

J: David Egan

T: Julie Camacho

Has done nothing but progress since the visor went on, winning five of his last eight starts (including C&D) and going up 31lb in the weights; off for eight months since winning at Goodwood in September and will need another career-best off this mark.

J: Ryan Sexton

T: Julie Camacho

Has won four of his last seven starts at 6f, on AW then back on turf at Doncaster (good to firm) in June; up 7lb but it was a solid sixth of 22 at York (good) in July, when he raced away from the main action; drying ground would be a likely positive and he's firmly in the picture.

Well treated on old form and his close fourth at Wolverhampton in January confirmed he retained ability after a long absence; below par last time but drops in class with a tongue-tie fitted and Rossa Ryan booked.

A dual C&D scorer last autumn; yet to hit top form this term but he wasn't best drawn when eighth of 12 in 6f Southwell handicap in February; possibilities from an easing mark after a break.

T: Phil McEntee

Won twice over 6f at Yarmouth last year and was a close third at Newcastle (6f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in November; held in sixth at Chelmsford (6f, AW) on his return from a break last time, and better is needed.

Form & Verdict
Five wins and five thirds from his 14 visits to Chelmsford; all but two of his 45 starts have come over 5f though and stepping back up to 6f for the first time since July 2020 is a query.

Prolific 5f winner, including over C&D, most recently at Chelmsford in October off 2lb lower; however, he was disappointing back at Chelmsford in February and has a bit to prove this time.

Recorded his 11th AW win when narrowly beating Shalaa Asker over C&D in October; been absent since then but he's only 2lb higher than for that last win and he has won after a break in the past; dangerous on return.

None too consistent in 2024 but he did win two handicaps, one of them over C&D off 5lb higher; yet to find his best in 2025 but can't discount him.

His C&D win last October came off a 16lb higher mark so his ability for a race of this nature isn't in doubt; he hasn't been firing in recent starts though, including when well supported.

Showed some promise in uncompetitive AW maidens last autumn (5f to 7f); makes his handicap debut at a realistic level and the betting should guide as to expectation levels.
