Three wins for two previous yards and the first for this one when winning narrowly at Newmarket (6f, good) in September, following a protracted slog with the runner-up; comes here fit from the AW but he'll need a bit extra to win in a higher grade than at Newmarket.

Made all at Ripon (6f, good) on last year's reappearance and ran well in defeat on next four starts (including over C&D) prior to two lesser runs to finish his campaign; returned to form with very close third of 16 in same Ripon race last month and this front-runner is an each-way contender.

Prominent racer; C&D winner on his seasonal return on this card 12 months ago; often ran well in good handicaps afterwards and although he ended 2025 with a couple of lesser efforts, he is likely to be seen to much better effect this time; should make a bold bid up the stands' rail.

Four wins have come on good to soft/soft ground later in the year and he wants a good test over this trip on good ground; turned in a solid comeback effort over C&D in March but there's little room for error off this mark and he has his quirks.

Hasn't fulfilled the huge promise of his early form for William Haggas but he retains a good chunk of ability and enjoyed a resurgence last autumn, notably when a comfortable winner over C&D (soft) in October; disappointed when last seen but he should be in for another good year; back from a break is perhaps not the time to catch him but market should give clues.

Overall record of 1-14 but he finished runner-up five times last season and is well treated on the pick of that form; returned after wind surgery with an encouraging fourth at Doncaster (6f, good) in June but he was disappointing at Thirsk last month and needs to bounce back after that; cheekpieces removed.
