In the money two starts back at Redcar but couldn't back that up when unplaced over 2500m at Chester last time. Hard to fault if at his best.

First-up after eight months in the paddock. Has performed well when fresh in the past but wait and see how he has returned.

Has not raced since scoring over 1600m at Kempton Park All Weather on April 15 2025. Expect a forward showing.

Unplaced at all three runs this prep, the latest when fourth over 1600m at Southwell All Weather two weeks ago. Hard to fault if at his best.

Didn't threaten when resuming from a spell last time out, finishing eighth over 1600m at Thirsk. Second up record is strong and should improve with the run under his belt.

Finished 13th two runs ago at Nottingham but found form last time out when he scored by a neck over 2000m at Lingfield All Weather. One of the chief contenders.

Last appeared six-and-a-half months ago when he finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 2000m at Redcar. Managed to fill a minor placing first-up last prep at this track over 2000m. This is an ideal race to kick off. Top hope.

Has been in the mix at his last couple. Freshened up since finishing second at Doncaster over 2000m eight weeks ago. Looks one of the major players.

Resumed over 1600m at Southwell All Weather last start and finished 6 lengths away in sixth. Rates highly and should do much better.

Resumed over 2000m at Lingfield All Weather last start and finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth. Strips fitter and is among the chances.

Well held second up after finishing fourth when resuming over 1600m at Kempton Park All Weather. Must improve sharply.

Has had a change of rider after he was well held when resuming over 2000m at Redcar. Can bounce back.

Back from a break over 2800m at Nottingham last start and finished fourth, beaten 27 lengths. Has never won second up and others rate better.
