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.

She looked a good prospect when winning twice last July but her handicap career hasn't gone to plan so far this year; she did show plenty of early dash at Ascot five weeks ago, however, and this sharp test could suit; dropping in class will help too; considered.
