Still to win and had plenty of chances now; not been seeing it out over 7f lately, though, latterly in a hood and this mark is surely within range if things fall his way.

Serial hard-puller who can miss the break and will always come with risks attached; things fell right when he won a 0-50 classified event over C&D three weeks ago and he'll be popular again for a yard that's made a bright start to the year.

Short of room before catching the eye with late headway for fifth over 7f at Southwell three weeks ago; has done most of his winning on AW but a fast-ground win at Redcar last spring shows he's effective on turf; Jet Warrior has to be considered the stable number one but he's still of interest.

Often slowly away and frequently fails to settle; however, he won here (6f, good to firm) last April and got back on the scoresheet at Newcastle (6f, AW) in February; good second at Newcastle (6f) last time; in good form at Newcastle in autumn 2024 when he last tackled 7f and he's in with a chance.

Five wins come over 7f, always after a recent outing, and has only run in sprints a handful of times; entitled to need this at his age returning from a year off and would want to see good support before considering him.

Wins all come in the summer on turf and never off a mark this high (last two in 0-50 classified events); entitled to have needed his C&D comeback last Friday and the usual cheekpieces are back in place but he'll need to step up a deal on that.

Inconsistent this year and not at the top of his game on his last two starts; however, before those he won over this C&D and perhaps the return to this track will be a positive; in the mix if so.
