Form & Verdict

When successful in a division of this race 12 months ago she was recording her seventh win of the year; just one win to her name this time around but she has run several good races, including a close third at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) four weeks ago; solid claims.

Sole win came when justifying short odds in 1m AW maiden in December but he's been running with credit in big-field turf handicaps this term, including when fifth of 20 at York (7f, good; Jannas Journey eighth, The Green Man behind) three weeks ago; likely to go well again.

Three wins from his last four starts (soft-good to firm), the latest in an apprentice handicap against 18 rivals at York (1m) last Sunday; faces a higher calibre of opponent this afternoon but this progressive 4yo escapes a penalty for York and he did it nicely there; high on the list.

Last of his three wins came over C&D (good to firm) just over two years ago but he arrives off the back of three solid placed efforts, including when second over C&D ten days ago; mark is creeping back up but he needs considering.

No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage.

Form & Verdict
Good-ground 7f Newbury handicap winner off 1lb higher for Charlie Clover last term but, after rejoining Jane Chapple-Hyam, he found Meydan a struggle in the winter; weakened to be beaten 8l in amateur riders' event at Chester (7f, good to soft) three weeks ago but that was his stable debut after three months off and he's down to a career-low mark; might step forward so watch the market.
