Form & Verdict
Three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) this year, the latest when narrowly beating a subsequent winner last month; only fifth of eight at Kempton on Wednesday but that was at 2m in a Class 5 and he's not ruled out on this drop back in trip/grade.

Three wins at Wolverhampton (1m6f, Tapeta) this year, the latest when just beating a subsequent winner from 3lb lower last month; ran well in one previous visit here and, although yet to attempt this far on the Flat, would be a player if he stays.

Ten-race maiden but he's finished runner-up in three of his five runs this season and wasn't beaten far when fourth of five at Epsom (1m4f, good to firm) last time; looks worth a try at this new trip and he's in the mix back on AW.

A maiden after nine starts but close second three consecutive times (1m2f-11.5f) since upped to middle-distance trips in April; proven on fast ground and seems very likely to be in the shake-up again.

Gradually getting there, beaten under a length here (1m2f, good) in April and going down by a short head in a 14-runner event at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month, finishing nicely clear of the rest; up 4lb, but still looks the one to beat.

Came with a strong late surge to lead on the line last time, taking record over C&D to 2-2 and making it 2-3 in handicaps, for a sizeable LSP to boot (gained the wins at odds of 25-1 and 12-1); respected kept to this scenario, with further improvement plausible.

Heavy-ground winner in autumn 2024 who proved patchy during a limited campaign last year (fair second for Frederick Tett latterly); inclind to pull hard on comeback (Tapeta) and should fare better in a first-time tongue-tie.
