Form & Verdict
Winner at Ayr (1m5f) and Musselburgh (1m4f) in June and has run well on all three starts since, runner-up over 1m3f and 2m on last two occasions; latest was quite a rare run in cheekpieces; should be bang there.

J: Duran Fentiman

T: Daragh Bourke

Made it 3-6 since joining Daragh Bourke when winning at Doncaster (14.5f, good to firm) ten days ago, when she idled in front and was value for more than the 0.75l winning margin; went close over 16.2f at Newcastle previously; she might still be ahead of the handicapper up 3lb for last time; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
Often a front-runner and the last six of his seven wins were on Southwell AW, with the latest in March; Elle-May Croot knows him especially well and he's back 1lb below his last winning mark but the return to Southwell (from turf) for latest outing did not spark an upturn; best watched at present.

Six-time Southwell winner, latterly for regular partner Elle-May Croot over this trip in the spring; never been the most consistent (that hasn't changed with age) and can pull hard but he always needs factoring in at this level.

Fifth of ten in handicap at Southwell (1m3f, AW) on latest start was his closest finish but he still has major work to do; wore cheekpieces that day and connections now turn to blinkers and an extra 3f.

Visored first time (occasionally tried other headgear) when a hampered, running-on second of seven under 7lb claimer over 1m4f at Beverley 18 days ago and that was the best Flat result since his win in January 2024; unraced beyond that latest 1m4f on Flat (second over a sharp 2m1f as hurdler); place chance but, with a 1-30 strike-rate, probably not the percentage call.

Runner-up in a selling handicap at Beverley (1m4f) on penultimate start, and reportedly "failed to stay" when flopping at Doncaster (1m6f) a fortnight ago; yet to win over jumps (0-18) and, while this task isn't impossible, others make more appeal.
