Gelded and tongue tied when justifying favouritism in five-runner handicaps over 1m3f on Kempton AW this February and April; raced a bit freely and never got into it when back to turf at Chester (1m4f, good; second favourite) 16 days ago but not at all discredited and it's possible he may resume his progress; cheekpieces go on.

Promise on turf (good to firm/good) as 2yo; gelded and tongue tied when justifying favouritism in five-runner handicaps over 1m3f on Kempton AW this February (fairly smoothly) and April (much harder work, by short head); up another 4lb and back to turf but 1m4f+ will help his hat-trick bid.

Free-going juvenile maiden who signed off with a respectable fourth of six in 1m1f nursery at Newmarket in November; this son of Camelot has since been gelded and it would come as no surprise to see him take a step forward on his Polytrack debut.

He's raced ten times but has shown improved form of late, winning narrowly in a small field at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) then second to Into The Light at Glorious Goodwood (1m3f, good to firm); stayed on well last time and could better that performance now at 1m6f; unproven on slow ground.

Carried his head high in blinkers for last two starts but he challenged to win on the nod in a five-runner handicap at Newbury (1m3f, good to firm) last time, getting off the mark at the ninth attempt; up 3lb and into a much more competitive race, he could still be thereabouts but others make more appeal for win purposes.

A string of minor honours but no win from his eight races; disappointing on good to firm at Ascot in May, in between showing his best form at Kempton (1m3f, AW) and Sandown (1m2f, good); blinkers were fitted for that latest start, when he came from the back for fifth of 12 despite carrying his head high, and this race is markedly less competitive.

Ended 2025 on the up with 1m Newcastle victory, and resumed after four months off (gelded) with an excellent second of five to Moment Of Light over C&D 35 days ago; enjoys a 6lb pull in the weights here so not taken lightly.

3yo who completed a double when landing a Class 4 handicap over C&D last month; well held in two quick-fire runs at Glorious Goodwood but he's back in calmer waters now and is a player if he can get back near best; acts on good to firm and good to soft.

Won five of 15 races, including this month at Thirsk and Newmarket (both 1m4f on good to firm); Wednesday's 1m4f handicap here was a much sterner test of his credentials and he came up well short at 28-1, so others are again preferred.

Capitalised on a reduced mark at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) on July 1 and he followed up at Newmarket (1m4f, good to firm) ten days later; clearly in good heart but those wins came in five-runner, Class 4 handicaps and this is a much sterner test of his credentials.
