Form & Verdict
Hold-up sprinter who won five times in 2025; fifth in a big-field event at the Curragh last September when he had to wait for an age for a gap to appear; appeals as the type to progress again this year and he's high on the list, for all he will need luck in running.

J: Jerry Chau

T: Ollie Sangster

Progressive last year and he has continued the good work in 2026, winning 6f handicaps at Kempton and Newcastle either side of lesser turf efforts, albeit in hot handicaps; has run well at Ascot in the past and although he has yet to race over 5f, he is a strong traveller who could prove suited to it; interesting.

Blessed with a potent turn of foot and he has been impressive in winning 6f AW handicaps at Kempton and Newcastle this year; a 3lb rise for the latter success five weeks ago doesn't handicap him out of things and he ran well in his one visit to Goodwood; one to be interested in.

Three runs at Newcastle, winning two of them and desperately unlucky in the 3yo handicap last Good Friday on the other; looked set for another productive season when scoring at Kempton in March and a subsequent York defeat shouldn't be used as conclusive evidence the handicapper has caught up; leading claims back on AW.

Just one win to his name after 12 starts but he ended his 3yo campaign with two fine efforts, notably when chasing home a well-backed sprinter at Haydock in September (6f, good to soft; traffic problems at a crucial stage); 2lb higher mark less of a concern than the fact he has been well beaten in his two seasonal debut runs.
