Last run: 28 days

W: 10st 0lb

10 yo Gelding

OR: 70

Form & Verdict
Close second off this mark on reappearance over C&D in May; quickly pulled up here next time and below form in a third C&D race four weeks ago; throw in an equally inconsistent 2024 (three races) and there are clear risks.

Veteran who's been sharply on the downgrade in recent times, coming 22lb down the weights in the past year; a long time since he wore headgear, which is likely fitted more in hope than expectation.

Well treated on the form of his two 2m wins (good to firm and good) in 2025 and although he hasn't been himself this year, the signs were better when he was second of five on this course (2m2f) two weeks ago; has another well-treated rival to contend with today but he should be competitive.

4-12 on AW, with the first three of those wins at this track (two C&D) but they were in 2023; won at Lingfield this February and close third over C&D in May but he was tailed off in his other two Flat runs (one here) this year, which adds a cautionary note; wears headgear first time.

Form & Verdict
Asserted in good style over 1m6f at Southwell in May and moving up to 2m here in June resulted in him winning with even greater authority (7lb higher today); did not see it out so strongly when favourite at Southwell (2m, AW) on latest start but he's greatly respected on the earlier evidence.

Won three times over 1m6f/2m on turf/AW for the Muir/Grassick yard last year and ran well when fourth of 11 on stable debut at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) in December; returns from 252 days off and worth a market check.

Won on soft last October, twice on AW in May/June and, although two of his four starts since were pretty disappointing, he reached new heights when scoring tidily at Haydock (1m6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; just 2lb higher than last time and when he's won he's done it in some style.

Won at Bath (1m5f, soft) around a year ago but largely kept to AW since and went back-to-back in that sphere (1m6f/2m) across May and June; lesser effort at Kempton three weeks ago but he's not ruled out on this return to turf.

Form & Verdict
Form figures of 1221 in his first four handicaps, with the first win on Tapeta; came almost from last when he arrived late on the scene to grab a ten-runner race at Sandown (upped to 1m6f, good) in June for the latter win; others' antics in the flag start probably ruined his chance at Ffos Las on latest outing and he wasn't discredited; well worth a go at 2m and no surprise if he bounces back with win number three.

Progressive sort who won four times last year and has kicked on again this term, landing a four-runner handicap at Lingfield (1m6f, good) in May and third of 20 under 5lb penalty in the Northumberland Plate (2m, AW; Kirchner second) four weeks ago; effectively on the same mark as last time; good chance.
