J: Laura Pearson

T: David Loughnane

Front-runner who went off too fast for his own good over the extended 7f here two weeks ago and folded, which was also the case in his two previous runs; on a handy mark if he did get any freedom up front, though stamina doubts remain over quite this far.

Front-runner who has won four times since blinkers have been added and latest was over 7f here (good) in May; well held in his last two runs (1m2f/1m) but he's now only 2lb higher than for his last win and is well drawn back at this trip; not ruled out.

Has run a number of good in defeat races this season, including fourth over C&D last month; went down only to a progressive 3yo at Newbury (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago and the third and fourth have franked that form; bold show likely.

Ran well in defeat on his first three runs for this yard before taking a good step forward at Nottingham 148 days ago, pulling clear with the runner-up in an 8.3f handicap; up 5lb but looks the type to carry on progressing.

Just held on to make all over C&D (good to firm) in June but has not kicked on from that success and does not appear to have much margin for error off current mark; not sure to be suited by the forecast rain; cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted.

Ended 2025 with a breakthrough win at Nottingham (1m) and back on the scoresheet by a short head when making all at Yarmouth (1m2f, good to firm) last month; rather mixed this term but his seventh of eight at Windsor last time came in warm race and today's opposition is less demanding.

Ended 2025 quietly but he is back to his last winning mark and that success came over this C&D; the absence of headgear looks a positive and a revival could be on the cards.

Form & Verdict
Couldn't land a blow at Southwell on his stable debut three weeks ago (7f) but she was prominent in the betting and going back over a mile may help; second to Giant over C&D last August and meets that rival on the same terms.

Two wins for Robert Eddery came over a stiff, undulating 7f, so has that in her favour; lacked consistency for new yard, below par in first-time cheekpieces latest (headgear now off, tongue-tie on), but could easily bounce back.
