Form & Verdict
Inconsistent in his seven handicaps but he's won two of them; gelded before his successful return at Southwell (1m3f, AW) three weeks ago, when asserting by about 2l in six-runner race; 4lb higher today but probably okay on turf and has to be considered seriously.

Held up; exposed 6yo who is 6-27 on AW surfaces but 1-13 on turf; however, that solitary turf win was over C&D (2024) and he wasn't far away back on turf for last three outings; case can be made.

Often a front-runner; 3-7 on AW but he's 0-4 on turf and latest third to Elsass at Hamilton (1m3f, good) was no more than respectable; untested on good to soft or worse but his pedigree may given some encouragement, as his dam is closely related to outstanding performer Enable whose 15 wins included the 2017 Oaks over C&D and four of her Group 1 wins were on softer than good.

Won the 2022 Cambridgeshire but his only win since came in Bahrain (1m2f, good) last January; some creditable efforts on turf this summer; this is just his second AW start but he was runner-up at Wolverhampton on the previous one in November 2024; could be in the shake-up but the suspicion the wait for another British win will go on.

Form & Verdict
Five races, all last term and ridden by Paul Mulrennan in four; easily best form when he came from last to be a close third of seven in Listed event at Hamilton (1m3f, good; 150-1) in July; 25-1 and tongue tied when tailed off in the November Handicap at Doncaster (1m4f, heavy) and he's also now had wind surgery; this is just his second handicap and there's a strong sense of unfinished business.
