9st 1lb

J: Joey Haynes

T: Chelsea Banham

His first three starts saw him well beaten over 7f but he has not looked back since dropped to 6f, winning seven times and placed on his other three runs; could only manage second at Chelmsford five weeks ago but the horse to beat him is now rated 17lb higher and that shouldn't be used as evidence he is in the handicapper's grip; more to prove back on turf and at a new trip but few arrive in better form.

J: Joey Haynes

T: Chelsea Banham

Justified favouritism in Class 5 event at Kempton last time, taking record this year to 3-3 and overall strike-rate over 6f on AW to 7-9; he is 1-1 at Chelmsford; progressive sort who brings excellent stats and commands respect upped further in grade.

J: Joey Haynes

T: Chelsea Banham

Won three classifieds (one was a dead-heat) and three handicaps in just over a year; came from last place at the top of the straight to win going away at Lingfield last time; can't dismiss with 7lb rise justified.

9st 7lb

J: Joey Haynes

T: Chelsea Banham

Won four on the bounce in the first half of 2025; still improving judged on his two runs back from an eight-month break, third at Wolverhampton before winning a Class 6 over C&D 38 days ago; that form looks solid enough and a 3lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.

Lightly raced 5yo who won his first four starts last year (including C&D) and returned from a 248-day break with close third at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) one month ago; big player.
