Form & Verdict
Won a tidy six-runner Epsom novice (7f) in September and he built on an encouraging comeback/handicap debut third (also good to soft) last month when going very close at Chester (7.5f, soft) 12 days ago; quicker ground raises a question but he's going the right way and must be factored in.

Broadly progressive form switched to handicaps this term features a win at Carlisle; far from disgraced when one of several late closers behind the well-supported winner in big field at Glorious Goodwood (kept to 1m) most recently; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Four runs here have yielded two seconds and a win in this race in 2024; down the field in last year's renewal but after some modest efforts he's rediscovered his level of late, going close at Hamilton last month and finishing a close third at Ripon three weeks ago; yard going well and he's in the mix again.

Form & Verdict
Ex-Irish runner who landed a Newcastle maiden (7f, AW) on his November stable debut; subsequently gelded and it was a very creditable fourth in a warm event at Ascot on his handicap debut last month; weakened to finish down the field in another competitive race next time but this represents a drop in grade and he shaped like this stiffer test would suit at Ascot.

Won two of her first three starts as a juvenile but she went off the boil in the autumn and has been disappointing this year, including in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m, good) a fortnight ago; declining mark and a visor is given a whirl but only market support would make her of interest.
