Form & Verdict

In fine form since joining George Boughey, gaining a third AW win of 2026 at Lingfield (6f) in April; posted another good effort with third of 11 (a place behind Marcellinus) over C&D 12 days ago; must enter calculations.

Enjoyed an excellent winter on the AW, scoring three times at 6f, and comes here on the back of a good third of ten in 6f Lingfield handicap 19 days ago when not enjoying the smoothest of passages; can play a prominent role again back on turf.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to four winners, most notably Ice Max (7f/1m including 2yo/Group 2; RPR 114); 22-1 for his debut at Salisbury (6f, good to firm) but he showed speed before finishing fourth of 12; drop to 5f is unlikely to pose a problem and he's almost certainly capable of better.

Made the frame in three of his four starts on turf (5f/6f) for David Menuisier as a 2yo; changed hands for 9,000gns in October and makes his stable/handicap debut after seven months off having been gelded in the meantime; half-brother to a couple of AW winners and the market should be informative.

Failed to beat a rival home at Chelmsford (5f, AW) in October but was progressive on turf prior to that; left the impression his first start for 200 days was needed when fourth at Bath (5f, good) last time and he is of interest with that effort behind him.

Pulled hard and didn't see out 6f on his Chepstow debut but he's improved since dropped to 5f, finishing second at Nottingham (good; third won next time) and Windsor (good to firm; fifth beaten a head since); sets a clear standard on the latter form and Oisin Murphy maintains the partnership.

Making good progress for his new stable, gaining a deserved success at Redcar last month and following it with a fine second of 13 at York a fortnight ago; a 5lb rise for that defeat does ask an even stiffer question of him but he's not taken lightly.

Has a largely solid record and may remain competitive despite taking an 8lb hike for an emphatic success, having bossed a small field, at Redcar (5f, good) last Saturday; good third of 13 over C&D the time before and doesn't necessarily need to dominate.

2-2 in 2yo campaign, both wins coming last July (5f, good); then absent until 11-2 favourite and merely mid-division in competitive 3yo handicap at York (5f, good) in May; needs to leave that run well behind but she retains potential for her top yard; no surprise to see a big performance.
