Form & Verdict
Just over 1l behind City Captain over C&D when they made their handicap debuts in September but time has moved on since and he made it two wins from three starts in 2025 when giving weight to a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton (7f) last month; up another 3lb; still going the right way.

He has finished second in two of his four starts since returned to Jane Chapple-Hyam; disappointing favourite at Wolverhampton 11 days ago, however, and stamina for this trip has to be taken on trust.

Caught the eye of the stewards in one qualifying run, over 7f on Southwell AW in February, but she hasn't achieved a lot since and was nearly 9l behind Adelaide Bay on handicap debut at Wolverhampton (7f; 40-1) last month; needs major turnaround.

Fine sprinting family; successful siblings have won on Polytrack and dirt; qualified for an ordinary mark for previous yard and he extricated himself neatly from an awkward position to lead near the line on yard debut at Pontefract (6f) in April; up just 2lb; can progress back at 7f.

Acts on good and soft ground; record of 4-15 and his wins were in handicaps last season, including over C&D; still 8lb higher than for his last success but he was runner-up at Thirsk in April and did best of the pacesetters when fourth at Haydock (7f, good) last time; returns after a break and he's in the mix on this drop back in trip.
