Form & Verdict
All turf runs have been on good/good good to firm; won a Chepstow maiden (6f) last July and he ran well to finish third in handicaps in his final three runs last season; shaped as though he needed the run on Ripon reappearance last month and he's in the mix on this drop back in grade.

Has started off very well for Michael Herrington, landing a big-field handicap at Ascot (5f, good to firm) and going close in another at Thirsk (5f, good; Spring Is Sprung fourth, American Bay seventh) three weeks ago; a further 2lb nudge shouldn't prevent a prominent showing in his current mood, particularly with the promising Conor Whiteley taking 7lb off.

Half-sister to the Lockinge winner Audience; has shown clear promise in three maidens this spring, including with a front-running third at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month; looks on fair mark now switched to a handicap and she's an interesting contender back in trip.

Progressive when dropped to 5f in the second half of 2025, winning a Windsor novice (good to firm) and adding handicap wins at Chester (good to firm) and Haydock (good); unable to justify odds-on favouritism at Yarmouth (5f, good to soft) 24 days ago on her return from seven months off but it was still a solid effort and she remains capable of better; another 3lb higher today but sure to be popular.

Won a C&D novice (good to firm) on her second 2yo run; 0-7 since but was runner-up at Kempton last month before an eyecatching fourth back over C&D last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and she could have a big role play.
