3yo who continued his progressive ways when overcoming trouble in running to win a competitive handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm); finished last in a Group 3 at Windsor (1m2f, good) subsequently but could bounce back with a big performance returned to a handicap.

Progressive handicapper who overcame plenty of trouble in running when winning over 1m1f at Goodwood (good to firm) last month; he looked on the upgrade there and although he has plenty to find on these terms it's possible he'll improve again and outrun his odds.

200,000gns yearling who was bought unraced for 5,000gns in October 2024; outran his odds when 100-1 second at Newcastle (Tapeta) on debut one year later but didn't build on that in easy-ground turf novice (also 1m2f) a fortnight on; return to AW might help on this reappearance.

Didn't live up to market expectations on handicap debut in April (1m, AW), when he reared at the start, but this very lightly raced 5yo showed what he is capable of when second at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) three weeks ago, when denied a clear run; unproven on slow ground; on the shortlist.

Improving son of No Nay Never who bids for a hat-trick following handicap wins at Lingfield (7f, AW) and over C&D, overcoming a wide draw in 12-runner event on latter occasion; up 4lb but merits serious consideration from a much more favourable berth this time.

This year's wins at Redcar (1m2f, good to firm) and Thirsk (1m4f, good) were from the front; last two defeats suggest his progress may have levelled out, for all that he was tried over 1m6f both times; probably needs his best yet.
