40-1 winner of novice at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on reappearance; down the field on handicap debut at York four weeks later (subsequently gelded); has to prove he's as effective on turf as the AW but yard won this with a lightly raced 3yo in 2024.

Thrice-raced colt who most recently belied his 40-1 odds with success at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) on seasonal debut; needs to prove he can back up that form and also needs to step up sharply on his sole turf effort.

Progressive this term and he got off the mark at Sandown (1m, good) in May on his second handicap start; couldn't quite get there when second of five at Sandown (1m1f, good) since but the expected competitive gallop in this big field should be right up his street, and he's one to consider.

Two narrow wins over 7f (good to firm) either side of apparently failing to stay 1m at Goodwood in June but he found just the one pace when sixth of 11 at Ascot last month and it remains to be seen whether he's still on a winning mark.

Made the breakthrough when scrambling home in Catterick maiden in May and he broke his handicap duck with another neck success at Leicester (also 7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; up 4lb but he might be capable of better.

Didn't have to improve to reward odds-on backers in a 7f maiden at Catterick in May; creditable fifth in a 1m handicap at Goodwood two weeks ago and the return to 7f in a slightly weaker race should see him on the premises.

Finished well behind Law Court when last of ten on his Newbury debut (7f, good to firm) last August, but much better when second of 14 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) the following month; off seven months since and has been gelded, but still high on list if taking another step forward.
