Has responded very well since being fitted with headgear on his last 2 starts, winning at Yarmouth before following up under a penalty on the July Course 8 days later. Given a break since and must be respected.

Free-going sort who won 4 times in 2025. Back to form when making the frame last 2 starts but remains 4 lb above last winning mark.

Proved consistent in similar events this summer, scoring at Pontefract. Runner-up on his next 2 starts then regained the winning thread under a well-judged ride at Haydock. Good second under a penalty at Catterick since but likely to find this a tad too competitive from just out of the weights.

Showed ability in Ireland for Jessica Harrington and improved straight away when making a winning start for new yard in a Lingfield maiden. Went close back in a handicap at Beverley 3 weeks ago and this 3-y-o could be the answer.

Improved model for Harry Derham this year, adding to his hurdles win when showing a good attitude in this headgear at Salisbury. Good second there next time before struggling on soft ground in a valuable seller at Goodwood.

Completed a quick-fire hat-trick in 4-runner event at Yarmouth in May. Well held next 3 outings but back on track when third at Epsom. Visor on first time (well held in cheekpieces 3 starts back).

Won back-to-back at Yarmouth in June. Excuses next 2 starts but he does look high enough in the weights now.

Back down to his last winning mark when making all at Chepstow (1m) in July and backed that up with a good second under a penalty there. However, found run of good form coming to a halt off revised mark at Sandown since.

Had a purple patch during first half of this season, completing a 4-timer over further at Ripon in June. Subsequent exploits suggest the handicapper may have caught up with him now, though, and has since left Tony Carroll.

Had a busy and successful winter, winning 4 races, including at Newcastle in February. Trip too far last time but probably best watched off lower turf mark (well held all 4 starts, latest over 3 years ago).

Confirmed previous promise when scoring at Windsor in July but never a threat off revised mark both starts since.

Won at Bath in first-time blinkers in April but has not been in the same form since, remote second at Salisbury latest.

Winner in France for Mathieu Pitart and easily best effort for current yard when close fourth in minor event at Deauville last time in a refitted tongue strap. That was his first outing in 4 months so he's entitled to come on for that back in a handicap.
