Form & Verdict
All eight wins have been at sprint trips and seven have been on turf; record of 1-17 on AW but he's a reliable type who has been placed on Tapeta (6f) and Polytrack (7f) in last three runs; remains well treated on old form and he should go well again.

Had been banging at the door prior to his 7f win at Lingfileld last month; a 4lb rise for that win demands more but he has had few chances in this headgear.

1lb lower than for his Hamilton win in July (6f, good) and he has run well in defeat on his last two starts, close up in fourth over C&D ten days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a useful 7lb and he is more appealing than many; won't mind what the ground does.

Won three times in 2024 but he's drawn a blank since and has been well held in both runs (1m) this year; dropped another 3lb but he has something to prove from tough draw on this drop back in trip.

Both wins have come at Kempton (6f, Polytrack), but he has mainly been racing over further this year; quiet in first two starts for this yard (1m/7f) and although the return to this trip may suit and he drops into a Class 6 for the first time, others are more compelling.

His three wins have come over 6f/7f including at Goodwood (good to soft) last summer and at Kempton (off 3lb lower) in January; made some late gains when a creditable third at Kempton last month but this is a different test and his tactical speed will be tested on this first try at 5f.

Made all for an emphatic win a Epsom (8.5f, soft) in September but she finished tailed off at Goodwood in her final run in the autumn; this return to Polytrack is no problem but she needs to bounce back after that last run and she doesn't have a great record when fresh.
