J: Rowan Scott

T: Matt Crawley

Won two AW handicaps for George Scott in March; fair efforts in the last two of his three runs for current yard but his latest second was in a three-runner race at Nottingham (1m2f, good to firm); this drop back in trip could suit but he needs to find more to make the breakthrough on turf.

Won two AW handicaps for George Scott in March; ran well on the second of two outings for current stable when third of ten at Newmarket (1m, good) last month; this looks easier and he should go close, at the least.

Uninspiring turf form last year at up to 1m; could still have potential now handicapping and the betting is worth a look.

J: Grace McEntee

T: Gary Hanmer

Modest form on turf and AW, still a maiden after 11 races but his latest defeat was by a nose in a ten-runner handicap at Chester (1m4f, good); placed in five of his eight handicaps and, although he has his quirks with high head carriage, no surprise if he is in serious contention.

Far from straightforward, often pulling hard and again edging left under pressure over C&D last time; that effort proved this trip within range, though, and he's clearly happier on Tapeta than turf.

Down the field in three sprint novice/maiden runs in the second half of 2025; has had gelding and wind operations since last seen; steps up in trip for handicap debut and a tongue-tie is added, so there are a host of reasons to expect an improved showing.
