J: Connor Beasley

Useful as 2yo sprinter; successful when sights lowered at Yarmouth last September and his third in a 6f Listed race at Doncaster (good to soft) in March was his best form; hard to call him well handicapped now though.

Won a valuable pot as a 2yo; slow to come to hand as a 3yo but he changed yards last summer and made an impressive winning return from a gelding operation last September (6f, good to soft; cheekpieces on for the first time); fine reappearance when third in the Listed Cammidge Trophy at Doncaster (6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; raised 3lb for his troubles and still has to prove his stamina for 7f.

Form & Verdict
Three of his four wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2022 and 2024; only 1lb higher than for last year's success and he has run really well at Ripon in two of his last three starts; would be of major interest were it not for the prospect of slow going (just about handles good to soft but all his best form on good or quicker).

Not the force of old but that is reflected in his handicap mark; has undergone wind surgery since his latest run but it isn't enough to earn him the vote in this competitive race; usual headgear is absent today.

Five visits here have resulted in three wins and two places, all at 6f; made an encouraging return when fourth of nine at Ripon three weeks ago and he's slipped to a dangerous mark; tempting.

All of his four wins have been at Yarmouth (6f, good/good to firm) and latest was in September 2024; well treated on old form but he had a mixed record last season and was well held in the autumn on his final two runs; has a bit to prove after six months off and others are preferred.

Impressed in a Windsor maiden on his 2yo debut (6f, good to firm) and finished second in the Group 2 Richmond Stakes one month later; absent since finishing fourth in a Ripon Listed event 1,116 days ago (gelded in the meantime); handicapper has given him a chance (rated 107 after Goodwood) but the ground is an unknown and he has too much to prove.

Missed a huge chunk of his career, having finhished second in a Group 2 as a 2yo, and was below market expectations back from another layoff a month ago; the return to turf should suit, though, down another 3lb, and it's too soon to write him off.

Won on Windsor debut in June 2022 and was runner-up in the Group 2 Richmond (6f, good to firm) next time; looks interesting on that form but he's had only three runs since and was well held in two handicaps last year; has bit to prove after another absence and this is a new trip.

Lightly raced 4yo who won maiden/novice races on turf last May/June and was a promising fourth of 14 at Newcastle (6f, AW) in March on his stable debut; however, not quite at the same level there (6f) since and he's up in grade this afternoon; others are more compelling.
