J: Matthew Lloyd Slater

T: Ed de Giles

Five wins at 1m, the latest two coming at this track in 2024; didn't run badly on his seasonal return here a fortnight ago (1m, firm); capable off this mark but the start is always a major concern where he is concerned.

Showed some ability on his Wolverhampton debut in December 2024 but he's struggled at massive prices in two AW runs (7f/6f) this winter; this unexposed 5yo now goes handicapping but he needs a transformation at this new trip.

Limited maiden for William Haggas and changed hands last autumn for 6,000gns; off for five months since hanging right (not for the first time) over 9.5f here for new yard and is now tried in headgear for the first time.

Caught the eye when runner-up in a C&D maiden (debut) in January but she's failed to better that since; weakened when third of four in a modest Bath novice (1m, good to firm; 11-2) six weeks ago; still low mileage but more is needed on handicap debut.

Infrequent winner who's found his level again in lesser handicaps of late having missed almost a year; gave his running once more behind Ajrad over C&D 11 days ago and is 7lb better off but the winner had a good bit in hand that day.

All of his four turf wins have been on good or slower including heavy; his last win was at Bath (5.6f) last September but he's finished down the field there in his last three runs; now drops back in grade but he needs to rediscover his spark; regular hood is removed.
