Made it two wins from his 11 starts when scoring at Musselburgh (5f, good) last month and respectable fifth of 13 in good 3yo handicap at York (5f, good) last Saturday; each-way claims back down in grade.

Has gained both wins in Scotland, including at Musselburgh (5f, good; did it readily) latest start; generally consistent sort but will need further progress to defy a 5lb rise and follow up in this field.

Placed in two of his three starts this year, latterly when third at Thirsk six days ago on his return to 5f; fairly exposed and more minor money perhaps his best hope.

Both wins have come over 6f on Newcastle's AW; not in the same form on turf since; steps up in trip back on AW and cannot be discounted.

Doubled her tally with 6f handicap success at Newcastle in may and backed it up with a solid fourth of 11 at Chester (6f) three weeks ago; she's less exposed than most of these and in the mix.

Ended 2025 with a 6f win at Newcastle and she was back on the scoresheet over that C&D 11 days ago; up from Class 5 today and her turf efforts leave her with something to find.
