Superb run of AW form at 5f in the autumn, winning three in a row, two from the front; has remained in form since but he couldn't sustain his effort back on turf at Goodwood last time and needs to show he can reproduce his sand form on grass.

Ended 2025 on the up and he improved again when second in the Listed Hever Stakes at Lingfield four weeks ago; a 3lb rise demands extra but this speedy sort shouldn't be discounted.

Form & Verdict
Two 5f wins on fast ground this summer and he has run well in defeat on his last three starts; climbing the weights as a consequence and there are other fast horses in today's field.

Progressive last year and as good as ever when third on his Ascot comeback in the spring; pulled hard in first-time cheekpieces (removed today) last time, an effort that looks best ignored, and he's one of the likelier winners back from a short break.

Second of 16 in a C&D handicap last September; followed that with a good run at Haydock but he went up the weights and was well beaten at Lingfield when last seen; ran well after an absence last year but perhaps a shade high in the weights for this.

Form & Verdict
He hasn't won this year but there have been several good runs along the way, including when second to Clearpoint over C&D in September; not so good over 6f last time but this should be more suitable; should find it setting up for his come-from-behind style too.

Yet to win on AW (0-7) and hasn't won anywhere since scoring on debut at Yarmouth (5f maiden) in April 2024; thereabouts lately, including when no extra close home over C&D (5-1) 32 days ago; newly applied cheekpieces are worth a go.

C&D winner; quickly put a low-key Chester run behind him when finishing second at Kempton to a rival who has won twice since; that was over 6f and he'll be happier back at today's trip; drawn widest and one of four in the field who like to force the pace.
