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.

Hasn't won the races one of his ability should; 4lb lower than for his winning start for Stuart Williams in January (7f, AW) but that wasn't a springboard to better things; sold for 8,500gns this month; goes without headgear on first run for Tony Carroll; not sure what to expect.

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.

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).

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.

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.
