Form & Verdict
Wide-margin winner of a valuable sales race at the Curragh as a 2yo; hard to find the right race in a handful of starts since but he ran two fair races on the AW at the start of the year and this stiff 6f should be more up his street; can figure.

His three good runs this year have all come at Ascot, winning in May (6f, good) and doing best of those in the stands' side group when sixth behind All Ways Glamorous here two weeks ago (cheekpieces on for the first time; first 5f run since 2024); can get it wrong at the start but he has races in him off this mark.

Form & Verdict
Hit the handicap heights when winning the Wokingham over C&D in 2023 on debut for Archie Watson, then close up in the Group 1 Maurice de Gheest; desperately hard to place in handicaps since but he's had wind surgery since last seen in October and, even at this late stage, he might well turn it on for Kevin Ryan off a 17lb lower mark than at the start of last year.

Winless for previous yard but he won his first two turf starts for this one in 2025, over 1m at Windsor and 7f at Newbury (both on good to firm); it's possible that good to soft ground proved his undoing when last seen in August but a layoff since raises questions as does the return to 6f.

Two 6f wins at the end of last summer, at Windsor (good to firm) and over C&D (good to soft); just 2lb higher than for the latter but he's hard to assess now, having been well held over an inadequate 5f on his yard debut (AW) then eased following serious interference at Newbury; too much to prove just now but one to keep an eye on.

Form & Verdict
First three French wins came at about 1m but better form when winning a Listed race at about 5f last April; took time to find his feet for this yard but he couldn't get out of a scrum at Goodwood (6f, good) in October and ran well for a long way on Newcastle AW last month; the likely strong pace will suit and he has a good run in him.
