Sole success came at Epsom (7f, good to firm) as a 2yo, though he twice finished runner-up last year, including at York (1m2f, good; first start since being gelded) in October; didn't enjoy the smoothest run and far from disgraced in good Newbury handicap on reappearance; likely to go well.

Narrow win at Goodwood (1m4f, good to firm) for Ralph Beckett last summer; not disgraced on 1m4f course reappearance for new yard but went backwards from that at the York Dante meeting since; the first-time cheekpieces he wore there are quickly discarded; also down in trip.

Usually thereabouts, including in AW campaign this year which culminated in a Lingfield 1m2f win in April; respectable fifth of nine off this mark at Chester (extended 1m2f, good) three weeks ago.

Low-mileage 4yo who has been a good second at Lingfield (7f, AW) and Redcar (1m, good) this spring; hasn't necessarily shaped as if crying out for this trip but he's likely to be bang there again if his stamina holds.

Course winner who was runner-up in the 2024 Cambridgeshire but has been lightly raced since; his keeping-on fifth of 12 over 1m1f at Musselburgh in April suggests most of that ability remains but he failed to build on it tackling 1m2f for the first time when fourth at Redcar (good to firm) four weeks ago; first-time cheekpieces worn at Redcar are retained.

Enhanced his good Ripon record with a narrow win over this trip on good to soft last month; faded to finish well held at Chester since (Londoner ahead of him) but a revival can't be ruled out back here.
AI verdict

SR 76 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Scored with a fair degree of authority at Ayr (1m2f, good; from 2lb lower) in April 2025; absent since toiling at Chester 362 days ago, which raises concerns, but he did win over C&D on his 2024 reappearance; the betting should help to guide expectations.

Runner-up three times last season, including C&D; respectable fourth of ten to Spioradalta on C&D reappearance (good to soft); well beaten at the York Dante meeting since but should find this a bit easier.

Front-running 11yo with seven course wins, the latest gained over 1m (good) last spring; creditable placed efforts on his last three starts (including C&D) and should give it another good shot, for all this is a higher grade than he's been contesting.
