J: Alistair Rawlinson

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.

Better than ever in 2026 and seen to good effect when making all at Ffos Las and Ascot (5f; good and good to firm; acts on good to soft) in midsummer; couldn't cope with a total rise of 12lb in the Shergar Cup since and an easy lead looks unlikely but he could be well positioned from his draw and give it a good shot.

Poor draw when fourth behind Clearpoint here in September; dominant display when seeing off seven rivals from the front here three weeks ago; 6lb rise demands another career best but she's on an upward curve.

A three-time 5f winner in 2025; well below par first two runs this season but much better signs with fourth of five in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 26 days ago, fading only late on; well in the mix off a 2lb lower mark.

Made all from the same stall when winning off 2lb lower over C&D last autumn; not at her best during a light campaign this time and will need a career-best effort if she's to end a dry spell for her yard.

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.

Record of 1-20 on turf but that win was off 1lb lower at Goodwood in May; hasn't matched that form in three subsequent runs but he ran into a well-handicapped rival when a 4l second at Salisbury (5f, good to firm) last time; now drops back into a Class 5 event and he's not ruled out.

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.

Three wins in Britain at 5f (twice on AW); placed at Lingfield over the winter before being bought for 14,000gns in February; dropped out quickly after forcing pace on yard debut in Naas handicap last month on soft; probably best watched for now.
