Did well last spring and was placed five consecutive times last summer/autumn; now well handicapped on those exploits but beaten upwards of 8l on all four outings this year; can't rule out a revival but hard to be confident.

Mostly in fine form this summer but his standards have slipped in his last two races (1m4f/1m2f) and, thoroughly exposed ahead of his 42nd career start, others are more intriguing.

Third in this race last year; mostly in fine form this summer, which demands plenty of respect even though the very best of that form came in two performances on good to firm at 1m4f.

Placed twice on soft last year; beat only one home in a top 1m2f handicap here in July but in career-best form over 1m4f (good to firm) either side of that when winning at Newmarket and second in Shergar Cup race at Ascot; needs some respect.

Form & Verdict
Low-mileage 4yo who showed promise in handicaps at around 1m2f last year, finishing runner-up twice on good; shaped as if needing his Goodwood reappearance after a gelding operation and remains one who should be up to winning handicaps this season; non-runner due to unsuitable ground on good to firm at Windsor earlier in the week but should have a big say if allowed to take his chance.

Went close in C&D handicap (good) at last year's Dante meeting in May; had been gelded when one of three of these who didn't see which way the winner went at Goodwood in May but better effort, albeit well held, when second at Beverley (1m2f, good) a fortnight ago; not fully exposed and gets first-time cheekpieces.

Ended 2025 with a breakthrough win at Nottingham (8.3f, good); ran his best race since when fourth back at Nottingham six weeks ago (cheekpieces first time) but failed to build on it when fifth at Pontefract (1m, good to soft) last Friday; well beaten on previous attempt at 1m2f (for another yard).

Just held on to make all over C&D (good to firm) in June but has not kicked on from that success and does not appear to have much margin for error off current mark; not sure to be suited by the forecast rain; cheekpieces (left off last time) are refitted.

Very inconsistent in four starts for this yard this term and his good second at Windsor (11.5f, good) in May was flanked by a pair of 1m2f howlers; mark fine if he's on a going day but sole appearance here (well beaten when favourite last April) raises a further doubt.
