Form & Verdict
A strong contender on 7f form for previous yard but just a tepid response to pressure in two runs for new connections (without and with blinkers; tongue-tie now added); handicapper has been cagey in dropping him just 1lb but this is an easier grade; too soon to write off.

Has slid down the weights this year; it's a good while since he ran in a sprint and there have been no signs of a revival in three runs for his new yard; some way down the pecking order.

Form & Verdict
Somewhat unlucky to be on a losing run going back to a C&D win last July as he's run some cracking races in defeat this year, including when just touched off over C&D (good to firm) and losing out only to a subsequent Ascot winner, at York, also in May; looks sure to run his race again.

40-1 when beaten a nose at Kempton (6f, AW) on his stable debut in March and, after some lesser turf efforts, he was back in form when beaten a neck at Lingfield (1m, AW; first-time hood/tongue-tie) 19 days ago; thereabouts if he can transfer that form to grass this time.

Form & Verdict
Losing turf run goes back nearly two years and he's achieved little over 6f in 2025 for this yard, but he's done his winning over 7f and has dropped 9lb since the spring; interesting to see what the market says with cheekpieces fitted (has run well in a hood).

Turned things around with a win at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) last month but he was only seventh of ten in his follow-up bid at Wolverhampton (favourite); used to act on Polytrack; in-form yard also runs Split Elevens; inconsistent.

Improved with each of three 6f races and it looked more a case of just needing the run than lack of stamina when a close third of ten on handicap debut at Doncaster (7f, good) in June; respected off the same mark.

Promise in AW novices and on handicap debut when third at Doncaster (7f, good) last June; has since had wind surgery and should be sharper following his return from ten-month layoff when sixth of seven at Nottingham (8.5f, good) last month in first-time tongue-tie (retained); another to consider.

Form & Verdict
Struck into on debut and although he showed no ill effects when a close third of 12 at Nottingham (about 1m, good) in June, he was cast aside at Ffos Las (extended 7f, good to soft) too easily for comfort since; still of interest now handicapping.
