Form & Verdict
Has good sprinting connections; useful form on Thirsk debut (6f, good to firm) and a Brighton defeat next time can be forgiven; gelded since; travelled strongly and found plenty when winning on his Windsor reappearance and while the form is hard to weigh up, with the favourite running his first moderate race, this one has potential now handicapping.

J: Jack Mitchell

Beaten favourite in both 2yo starts; gelded prior to his reappearance at Windsor (6f, good to firm) and he showed his true colours, recording a comfortable success; followed up in a Leicester handicap in May and was a leading fancy for the Palace Of Holyroodhouse at Royal Ascot, only to completely blow out; back on the up with a hard-fought neck defeat of Calico Blue at Newmarket last month; remains a sprinter of interest.

J: Jack Mitchell

Looked smart when making short work of his rivals in first two starts as a 3yo in a Windsor maiden and on handicap debut at Leicester (both 6f on good to firm); a 10lb rise for the latter didn't look to be overdoing it but he was badly out of sorts when last of 27 in the big 5f handicap at Royal Ascot since (13-2); trust suspended for now.

All runs over 6f on good to firm ground; beaten favourite in both starts as a 2yo, after which he was gelded; he has returned an improved performer in 2026, easily winning a Windsor maiden before producing a dominant display in a Leicester handicap 25 days ago; strong at the finish despite racing freely in the early stages on that latest occasion and he looks plenty quick enough for 5f; a 10lb hike is no gift but the Leicester form looks strong and he could well be a Group horse in the making; stable won this last year; lots to like.
