Comment: Quite keen on debut over 6f and ran better back at 5f when going down narrowly at Thirsk (good to firm); the winner ran okay in the valuable sales race last week at York; the one to beat.

Comment: Had a busy year, winning for a fifth time in 2025 when making all at Chester (5f, good); has got himself high in the weights but latest defeat was in a Racing League handicap so that's readily forgiven.

Comment: Won twice over this trip last year and better than ever when runner-up in Epsom's 3yo Dash in June; on a good mark and ran well last time at Musselburgh when he got no peace up front; respected with cheekpieces added.
