J: Shane Foley

T: Andrew Balding

Promising for Charles Hills as a 3yo, winning a C&D handicap at the Craven meeting before a good third from a tricky draw at York; ended 2025 with a low-key run at Ascot but, having been switched to Andrew Balding's stable, he created a huge impression here 17 days ago, supported as though defeat was out of the question and winning accordingly; 8lb well in and looks a Group horse in waiting; obvious chance for the stable that won this prize in 2021 and 2024.

Began the season with two 6f wins (AW and good to soft); beaten in handicaps on his last two starts but he ran a screamer from a tricky draw at York and then found only one too strong in a hot renewal of the Scottish Stewards' Cup seven weeks ago; surely still ahead of his mark and he's of obvious interest on ground that won't faze him; stable hardly firing in the winners but he still makes the shortlist.

Upped his game following a gelding operation last summer, winning over C&D in September before making giant strides on AW; returned from a break to do best of the rest behind runaway winner Double Rush over C&D 17 days ago; could have a nice prize in him this year but the 5lb turnaround with Double Rush may be insufficient.
