5 yo Gelding

OR: 54

Form & Verdict
He's regressed and is winless since scoring over C&D in July 2024; only fourth of six on stable debut at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago but he was the 7-4 favourite and got upset in the stalls, and may have needed that run; interesting to see if he's again strong in the betting.

Often leads; able to get to the stands' rail when a clear winner at Ripon (6f, good) in July on second start for the yard and, despite going back up 8lb, he's continued in good form since; involved again.

Front-runner who has done well since joining Tony Carroll this summer, winning at Ripon (6f, good) in July and a close second here (5f, good to soft) last time; this return to fast ground is no problem and he's a key player back up in trip.

Front-runner; scored at the second time of asking for Tony Carroll when much too strong for ten rivals at Ripon (6f, good) in July; good third at Newmarket 24 days ago; drops in trip and class and looks more appealing than many.

Had been expensive to follow but returned to AW to finally break his duck in a 14-runner C&D handicap last month, beating next-time-out winner Donald (due to run in first division at 7:00); this 4yo could still be fairly treated off 3lb higher.
