Four wins from 11 starts; successful on comeback at Kempton (1m4f, AW; made all) in April and again ran well when second at Newmarket (1m4f, good) two weeks ago; should be in the thick of things once more.

T: Andrew Balding

Normally reliable and gritty performer, as evidenced by his comeback win at Kempton (AW; made all) in April, so his major flop at Epsom (again 1m4f, good) came as quite the surprise three weeks later; maybe that track didn't suit and his previous body of work means he can easily be given another chance.

J: Oisin Murphy

T: Andrew Balding

Really likeable sort who scored three times on good ground (1m2f/1m4f) last term, twice coming out on top in tight finishes; gelded before again showing a fine attitude to pick up Kempton handicap (1m4f, AW) on his reappearance three weeks ago; likely won't go down without a fight for his ever-growing fan club.

J: Jason Hart

T: Charlie Johnston

A good run of form last summer included a close second of 18 in a valuable 1m2f handicap at Glorious Goodwood (good; unraced on slower); however, he's failed to live up to that form since gelded and first-time cheekpieces (discarded now) may have been more of a hindrance than a help last time; capable but risky.

Went close at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) last July but well beaten in C&D Cambridgeshire in September; failed to settle and suffered interference on return, doing pretty well in the circumstances, but disappointing favourite at Pontefract 11 days ago; connections turn to cheekpieces.

Progressive in last year's 3yo campaign, going close at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) in July; did pretty well to finish sixth on last month's return at Kempton (1m3f, AW) where he failed to settle and suffered interference; that run may have got the freshness out of him; on the shortlist.

Form & Verdict
Ended 2024 with 7f Redcar novice victory and he has been in good form in handicaps this term, second of nine over C&D 13 days ago when not enjoying the best of runs; up 2lb but he's not taken lightly.
