First crack at shy of 6f when well held at Brighton (5.3f) last time; still only has a Tapeta maiden win to his name and has had his moments at the stalls; another furlong would have looked optimal round here.

J: Jason Watson

His sole success from 12 attempts came in a small-field 6f AW maiden last March; plenty of solid runs in handicaps (turf and AW) since and belatedly dropping to 5f, albeit an extended one, could give him a lift.

Form & Verdict
Won a Newmarket novice (6f, good) last May, his third start, but beaten 11 times since including all four runs for John Butler; his penultimate second at Thirsk was a good run though and when down the field at York last time it was a Class 4; not out of it.

Form & Verdict
Like many from the yard he has had a quiet year but he has dropped down the weights and is now 6lb lower than for his C&D win last October; quite possible the winners will start flowing for Jessica Macey now and he's of some interest.

Recent form-figures look unappealing but he's probably in better heart than they suggest, ending up with too much to do at Ripon last week; successful on only previous start at Redcar, much earlier in career, and he's now 6lb lower than when winning at Thirsk in the spring; no forlorn hope.

Off the mark for 2026 at Thirsk (5f) in May and has proved reliable since; had usual headgear left off when well held at Beverley (5f) ten days ago and no surprise to see him bounce back in refitted cheekpieces.

Scored at Thirsk (6f) in May and largely in good form since, coming home third in his group when midfield in 20-runner handicap at Ripon (6f) last time; can make his presence felt off a 2lb lower mark for yard that has taken past two runnings.

Unplaced in six runs for David O'Meara, but he's tumbling down the weights and he showed more at York (6f, good to firm; visored first time) ten days ago; this is a drop in class and something bigger is brewing.
