Form & Verdict

His two novice wins were over 7f; initial handicap runs over further were modest but the drop to 6f has worked a treat, making all at Ayr in July and then second to a rapid improver in the Shergar Cup Spring; looks quick enough for 5f but he'll do well to lead in this field.

J: Shane Gray

T: Kevin Ryan

The drop to sprint trips has put his career firmly back on track, making all at Ayr (6f, good to firm) before bumping into a Group horse in waiting in the Shergar Cup here in August; returning to 5f proved no hindrance at Doncaster three weeks ago, always prominent and finding plenty for pressure; the ground was officially good but changed to soft afterwards and these conditions shouldn't hold any terrors; up another 6lb but it's unlikely he's reached his ceiling.

Two 7f wins on AW as 2yo; failed to make a serious mark in handicaps at 1m and 7f this year but he never really looked like giving up his lead when dropped to 6f at Ayr (good to firm) in July; back up 5lb but this stiff 6f shouldn't be a problem and nor should the ground; open to improvement.

Has had a few issues at the start but he's been much more lively the last twice and his second to Venture Capital at Doncaster (5f, good; probably soft) last time was a sound effort; wouldn't have the potential of that rival though and is no banker to reverse the placings despite the revised terms.

Fast front-runner who has won 5f handicaps at Newmarket and Sandown this season; last two runs not the ones to judge him on, tackling a Listed race on his penultimate start and then drawn on the wrong side at the Ebor meeting; should run his race but might find a few finishing stronger.

Something to find on these terms and Mia Nicholls can't claim usual 5lb; however, this front-runner has won two handicaps this year (5f, good) and was a good third at Doncaster last time; won in 2022 on sole run here; could make a bold bid if conditions suit (may not want slow ground nowadays).
