5 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Won two 0-55 handicaps at about 5f (good) last August after the cheekpieces went on, including one here; the return to this grade is a positive but he hasn't got home in two previous attempts over C&D and the headgear is still missing.

Has become unreliable and was soundly beaten on latest outing a fortnight ago but won similar race to this over C&D (good) in June and has obvious claims if able to replicate that form.

5f turf winner here who scored for the third time when taking 7f Brighton classified event (good) under Donagh Murphy last month; not so good on his next two starts but he's got a good draw and can't be ruled out.

Form & Verdict
Strike-rate of 3-63; he won a 0-52 handicap here (1m, good to firm) last September and his latest fourth of 14 in a 0-55 handicap at Bath (1m, good) was commendable; frame possibilities again.

Narrow winner of C&D (good to firm) handicap in September and went close in this grade here (7f, good) in June; safely held on AW at Lingfield since but was poorly positioned on outside of the field there and can do better here.

Sole win was in December 2024 but that was over C&D; finished down the field in three runs for current yard but the saddle slipped at Brighton (7f, good) last time and he was only beaten around 2l; could go well on this drop back in trip and he's not ruled out.
