Off the mark at Brighton (6f, good; first-time hood) last August and had the hood removed when coming home nicely to win at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in January; off for 122 days before finishing a creditable third over this C&D in May and has solid claims on his first start since.

Successful over 6f on this track last August then over 7f (AW) and 1m (good to firm) in 2026; no real match for a stablemate at Yarmouth in August but that one had dropped a long way in the weights; solid contender.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: David Simcock

Career-best form when scoring over 1m here in July and subsequent third over C&D (also good to firm) in higher-grade company was also a good run; ground slower than good would be new but, otherwise, his claims are solid.

T: David Simcock

Came home nicely to win at Chelmsford (7f, AW; first start for 95 days) in January and was returning from a 50-day break when winning over 1m here (good to firm) three weeks ago; goes up in grade off a 3lb higher mark and will need them to go a solid gallop over this shorter trip.

Form & Verdict
Sole win when getting up late on over 1m at Kempton (AW) in December off 6lb higher than today; hasn't gone on from that and he's been comfortably held in his three starts on turf for this stable; others preferred.

Signed off for Dylan Cunha in good heart, winning twice at Yarmouth (6f/1m, good to firm) in the summer; 22-1 for his stable debut but he maintained the momentum, beaten just a neck at Musselburgh (7f) a fortnight ago; up 2lb but another good effort looks likely.

Bids for hat-trick after completing a Yarmouth double (1m/6f) for Dylan Cunha; shade fortuitous last time (runner-up's rider dropped whip) and switches to a contrasting venue on debut for new yard.

Runner-up here over 1m two starts back, then went one better here eight days ago, also over 1m; now drops back to 6f for the first time since his second start and that would be a concern under a 5lb penalty.
