9st 5lb

J: Harry Davies

T: James Fanshawe

Made it third-time lucky when winning a Lingfield maiden (7f, AW) last September; 0-7 since but he's been knocking on the door recently and had to deal with with some serious traffic issues and a slipping saddle when runner-up at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) last month; up 3lb but he looked unlucky last time and is a big player at this new trip.

J: Daniel Muscutt

T: James Fanshawe

Confirmed earlier juvenile promise when taking 7f AW maiden here (first-time hood) in September; solid effort when third of 12 upped to this trip at Salisbury in May and was unlucky not to finish closer when fourth at Ripon (also good) five weeks ago; hood removed but he still looks a key player.

Won twice over C&D (good/soft) last summer; has reached the frame on four of his five 2026 starts but beaten 6l when fourth at York latest and the return to Sandown needs to help him recapture his peak form.

Appreciated the drop in grade to quicken up best off a modest gallop at Goodwood (1m1f, good to firm) and he can cope with this 4lb higher mark; considered.

10-34 on AW but latest well-held fifth on good to firm at Sandown took his turf record to a much less impressive 2-20; going softer than good arguably suits him slightly better but still hard to be confident.

Two Sandown wins in 2025 at 1m and 1m2f (good and good to firm; acts on soft) under David Dunsdon; recent AW defeats can be glossed over and he's weighted to go well; one of the stronger options.

Form & Verdict
Tailed off on hurdle/yard debut last autumn but proved a different proposition after a break when successful back on the Flat at Windsor (1m2f, good to firm) in May, pulling over 4l clear and posting his peak RPR; evidently capable when fresh so being off for a further three months isn't a concern but he'll require another career best off 7lb higher.
