Handy sort who won twice here last month, taking his C&D record to 3-3; only beat one home at Carlisle (7f, good to soft) eight days ago, which leaves him with a bit to prove given he handles a soft surface on turf.

Useful 7f and 1m form in 2026, including when fifth in a higher grade at Sandown (first-time cheekpieces) in June on yard debut; however he's won just once in the last three years and although he showed useful form in a C&D novice as a 3yo, his AW runs since have come on Polytrack; shade to prove.

Losing run is mounting up but he ran respectably over C&D most recently (final start for Charles Hills) and ties in with unexposed Raammee on that form; possibilities off same mark, provided he takes well to first-time headgear; remains with same owner.

Below best on this track in November but he had won in good style over C&D the time before and seemed to appreciate the return to Southwell (7f) last month when he scored by overhauling one who has won both starts since (other subsequent winners behind); major player back up 3lb.

Kept fairly busy in the last 12 months and he supplemented a 6f Windsor win (good) in September by scoring over 7f at Yarmouth (good to soft) in October and at Chelmsford (AW) in December; has held his form with some solid efforts this spring and he could make a serious impact if this sets up for his closing style.

Found the race not run to suit at Epsom early last month, when hanging left, but then pulled way too hard in front on his Tapeta debut latest; that was far from the first time he'd over-raced and much will hinge on how he settles early from the inside stall.

Could be encouraging that his only win for Andrew Balding came on his sole start here (7f novice) but he left that stable after a poor show at Chester last July and it's been a similar story in two outings for this yard; only of interest if lively in the betting.

He's on a competitive mark on his best form for Andrew Balding, which includes a good third of 22 over C&D (good) last May; market check advised on first run since last July, having been gelded and changed hands for 62,000gns in the interim, but he needs to be at the very top of his game.
