Form & Verdict
6f win as a 2yo; strong 5f form last season, winning twice (AW and good turf); operating a little below that level this year but did shape as if this return to 5f may help when fading into fourth over 6f here three weeks ago; a classy sort for this grade if back to anywhere near his best.

None too consistent but he surged back to form with a win at Hamilton (5f, good; made all) two weeks ago; that was only his second go in blinkers and he's again of interest off 4lb higher.

J: Tom Eaves

Patchy last season and more of the same this term, failing to build on a Tapeta win off 3lb lower in three runs since; latest effort in first-time blinkers is readily ignored but it's hard to know what to expect for a yard also responsible for Mon Na Slieve.

Suited by a stiff finish, as he showed when making a successful reappearance at Beverley (5f, good) in April; not in quite the same form when fading into fourth at Carlisle (5f, good to soft) since.

Often inclined to pull hard over this trip in the past and was kept to 5f last year, when winning three times; undergone wind surgery since last seen six months ago and will need to settle in tonight's small field if he's to have a chance off this mark.

Form & Verdict
Didn't fulfil his potential for Charlie Hills but has made a positive start for his new yard, winning at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) before good fourth of 13 at York (5f, good); next-time-out winners Bergerac and Jm Jungle (Epsom Dash) were narrowly ahead in second/third at York so the form looks strong; big player from the same mark.

Can take a nap at the start; best form of 2025 in good 5f Hamilton races during June, going close (good to soft) before leading near the line (good) but he hasn't been running badly in competitive sprints of late; the expected strong pace can suit now he's back at 5f and returned to this grade.

No stranger to the Ayr winners' enclosure, winning five at this track (5f-7f), including this race two years ago; has struggled for form in two 5f spins at Musselburgh this year, which makes him hard to fancy; on the plus side, the handicapper is beginning to give him a chance.
