Form & Verdict
Won Newmarket maiden on his debut in 2024 but hasn't kicked on from good juvenile form; fair efforts when fifth in quite valuable AW handicaps in February and March but he proved a disappointing favourite on return to turf when beaten 14l at Beverley (also 2m, good to soft) last month; others hold greater appeal.

Usually a blinkered front-runner this year on Flat; second in May (1m6f, good) was the only significant echo of his useful 2yo form but he still needs a close look on this hurdles debut, with no headgear having left Ralph Beckett for 56,000gns in June.

Form & Verdict
Six-time Flat winner who scored a fifth win on turf when taking Sandown handicap (1m6f, good) off 2lb lower in July 2024; also a multiple winner over hurdles who was on the premises when taking heavy last-flight fall at Plumpton just over one year ago; interesting to see how he goes in the market ahead of this comeback.

Unraced over this far but a step back up to 1m6f did the trick at Ffos Las (soft; acts on good to firm) 11 days ago for first win this term; pretty consistent but the 5lb penalty means that he probably needs better than his 2026 form.
