Form & Verdict
Well held in three novice events but he won at 22-1 on handicap debut at Southwell (1m) in November and followed up over 9.4f at Wolverhampton on his recent return; up another 3lb but he's on a roll and is open to more progress on his step up to this trip; respected on turf debut.

Not solid on his AW form for current yard and he has regressive results on turf, so chance hinges on physical tweak (gelded since last run) and addition of tongue-tie.

T: Faye Bramley

Not been with Faye Bramley long and there were signs of a revival when third, albeit beaten 4l, at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in December; failed to build on that when down the field at Lingfield in January but still dangerous to discount dipping into a 0-65 for the first time.

Form & Verdict
Won a Brighton maiden (1m, good to soft) in his final 2yo run and he started his handicap career with a respectable effort at Chelmsford (1m2f, first run since gelded) last month; now takes another step up in trip but he has plenty of stamina on dam's side and is still unexposed after only five starts; one to keep an eye on.

Won a 2yo course maiden (good to soft) in 2024 but flopped on his return visit when favourite for a handicap (also 1m, good to firm; first-time blinkers) last September; left Hughie Morrison after another lesser effort and that pattern has continued in three starts for this yard; hopes probably pinned on this drop back in trip.

Kept on well to hang on to her lead when making handicap debut at Windsor (extended 1m3f) last May; has run some sound races since, including on Tapeta (1m6f) in October, and perhaps just needed the run at Kempton (1m3f) 12 days ago; shouldn't be far away.

Considerable improvement over 1m2f in the mud once gelded last August, but well beaten in both his hurdle races this winter; this is first run since leaving Roger Teal for 31,000gns in February and given wind surgery; not as solid as some of these but stable is among the winners.

Displayed considerable improvement on the Flat once gelded and, although eventually finishing well held on last month's hurdle debut at Newbury (2m, good to soft; 4-1) following a break, there were positives to take and an improved effort would be no surprise; hooded latest but not today.
