Returned to form with C&D (good to firm) win for James Ferguson in June and was respectable fourth at Windsor (1m, good to firm) on last month's first run for Tom Clover; tends to face a bit too freely so it will be interesting to see whether switch from blinkers to a first-time hood pay dividends.

33-1 winner of 6f maiden at Yarmouth as 2yo but she's found handicaps rather hard work since and was well back when upped to 1m on the Rowley course in May on her second run for this yard; needs so much more.

Form & Verdict
Beaten favourite on AW the last twice (7f/1m) but took his form figures to 62233 and is therefore proving a consistent sort; ran well in last turf attempt; fighting chance on nursery debut.

Progressive on the AW last winter, winning three times, latterly off tonight's mark; the return to Tapeta and drop back from 7f will help, with the visor experiment quickly binned, but he hasn't been in any form in three runs back from a break.

Three of his four wins have been over 6f on the AW but the other came over this C&D (good to soft); latest effort at Southwell (6f, AW) can probably be excused having had a wide trip but others are still preferred; steps back up in trip in a first-time visor.

Nearly made a successful switch to handicaps at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) last September, just held by one who won three of his next five starts; had a quiet start to 2026 but did better when prominently ridden and having a little in hand against Milford Grange over C&D (soft) in June; up 3lb; capable of better.

Comfortable winner here (1m, Class 6; 6-4 favourite, from 7lb lower) last November; less productive on Nottingham comeback run; fifth of 14 at Bath (1m, good) 12 days ago was better, and he's noted over 7f at a track which suits; Harry Vigors takes off a handy 5lb.
