Form & Verdict
Four wins from 14 starts, the most recent when dead-heating at Southwell (7f, AW) in October; struggled on his first three starts this year but didn't shape badly at Newbury (7f, good to soft; first start since wind surgery) three weeks ago; drops in grade with blinkers added.

Record since wearing blinkers comprises a win at Chepstow, creditable sixth in competitive field at York and excusable effort (race didn't go smoothly) at Glorious Goodwood; could go well in the retained headgear.

J: Jason Hart

T: William Muir & Chris Grassick

He progressed well over this trip last term and, following a slow start to this season, he was back in the groove in first-time blinkers when scoring at Chester (7f, good to firm) earlier in the month; finished close sixth at York (Pellitory second) under a penalty one week later and he's not readily dismissed.

J: Rhys Elliott

T: William Muir & Chris Grassick

Improved for a step up to 7f last season; made a slow start to this campaign but he had a wind operation in June and returned to form with a win at Chepstow (7f, good to firm; blinkered first time) last week; penalty in a much stronger race asks a stiffer question.

Both wins have been over 6f, the most recent at Salisbury (good) in October off a 1lb lower mark than today's, but he went over today's trip at Goodwood (soft) last month; likely has quicker ground conditions today but has good claims.

Two wins as a 3yo, the latter a C&D handicap off 1lb lower last October; good runs in defeat on his last two starts (7f, soft and good to firm); should make another bold bid.

His two wins have come over 6f but he is fully effective over this extra furlong; back to his last winning mark and he will be a danger to all if the ground is suitable (well beaten in one run on slower than good).

Won a Class 5 over C&D (soft) in June and followed that with three runner-up finishes; beaten favourite at Goodwood a fortnight ago but he was racing away from the main action and shaped as though still in top form; Oisin Murphy retains the ride; solid claims.

The most recent of his six wins came at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April 2025 off a mark 3lb higher than today's but he has posted some good efforts since; however, he was below his best at Salisbury 19 days ago and needs to bounce back with cheekpieces back on.

Started out by recording useful form on first three starts for Clive Cox but the wheels came off subsequently; 150-1 for his stable debut when weakening to be beaten 15l over 6f here last Friday; big transformation required just eight days on but slipping mark makes him worth a market check.

Solid record at novice level has not been sustained in handicaps; sold out of Clive Cox's yard for £1,000 since last run; may benefit from the drop to sprinting, having been too free in both starts this term.
