The type to possess potential, being a son of Dubawi and from a major yard, but may be more interesting in handicaps having posted modest RPRs in two turf runs last year; gelded since.

Looks quirky but he followed three seconds at 1m/1m2f by asserting late on in a 1m3f maiden at Southwell (AW) in April and he stormed clear in seven-runner handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) two weeks later; blinkered on last three starts; up 7lb and drops back in trip, which has to be a worry, but he's certainly got his act together.

Looks quirky but he followed three seconds at 1m/1m2f by asserting late on from Sailor Song in a 1m3f maiden at Southwell (AW) two weeks ago, looking suited by the extra distance; blinkered on last two starts; 2025 turf form to start career was modest but another extra furlong should help; player.

Low-mileage 4yo who is 2-5, all at about 1m on AW/turf, this year for new stable; prevailed at Epsom (good) returned to this sphere most recently, despite taking a good hold; may settle better and show further progress in this big-field scenario over a stiff 7f; not ruled out.

9st 8lb

J: Edward Greatrex

T: Ian Williams

All starts on AW for this yard and he justified cramped odds when easily landing four-runner Chelmsford maiden (1m) in February; promising handicap debut when second over that C&D the following month and can be excused a lesser effort in highly competitive Good Friday event three weeks later; unexposed, particularly on this surface, and he warrants consideration.

Promising stable debut at Kempton in January and he easily won a 1m maiden at Chelmsford in early February; only second to a stablemate back at Chelmsford for his handicap debut three weeks ago; can win more races but probably not this one.

Beaten a nose, a head and a neck in three bumpers; earned his mark over 1m and predictably did better upped in trip when scoring at Kempton (1m3f, AW; first-time cheekpieces) in March; rebounded from a blip next time when going in again at Beverley (1m4f, good to firm; first-time visor) a fortnight ago; dam half-sister to St Leger winner Brian Boru and this new trip could unlock more again; key player.
