Made all at Salisbury (6f, good) in May; unplaced on next two starts but he was a close fifth of seven at Ffos Las most recently and he ran well over C&D last August on firm ground; might not be far away.

Multiple winner who made all at Salisbury last month (6f, good) and was ridden differently when never involved at Catterick; had no penalty last time and now 5lb higher, but if returned to positive tactics the ground won't be an excuse.

All three wins came over 7f at Kempton AW in 2024 when trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy; has had no success with Edward Smyth-Osbourne since and makes stable debut for shrewd yard off a career-low mark; market will be best guide.

All three wins came on the AW when trained by Kevin Philippart De Foy but he's twice been placed on turf since joining this stable, including on soft; well held at Pontefract (6f, good) in April but may have needed that first start for 194 days.

Form & Verdict
Got off the mark at Kempton (6f, AW) in March; didn't look in love with the track when down the field at Windsor subsequently and a line can also be put through his last run at Bath when he was almost brought down when about to deliver his chance; not one to give up on.

Unexposed 3yo who won at Kempton (6f, AW) in March on his second handicap start; needs to prove he's just as good on turf but he was badly hampered when making headway at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) last month, when he was sent off favourite; possible player.

Spoiled chance by refusing to settle on seasonal/stable but this month's midfield finish at Newbury (6f, good to firm) was more encouraging; has slipped to a dangerous mark and should now be approaching concert pitch.

He's on a reduced mark and his yard is going well; however, he had a patchy campaign last season and was soundly beaten in April on his sole run this year (pulled hard on that stable debut); others have less to prove.
