0-16 but he'd gone close at 1m and did so again over 1m2f when third of 13 at Yarmouth (good; Beach Point fourth) on his reappearance last month; returning cheekpieces did little harm when second to unexposed sort over that C&D (good to firm; Beach Point third) a fortnight ago; should be thereabouts again.

SR 70 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Wore cheekpieces when just holding on in six-runner July course handicap (1m2f, good to firm) in August; visored when he stopped quickly on good to soft at Nottingham in October and not seen since a hurdles debut the following month; cheekpieces back on for this return.

Scored on his AW/nursery debut in 2024 but wasn't competitive in just three starts last year; did gain plenty of market traction on the last of them, though, and last month's reappearance at Bath wasn't totally devoid of promise; tries 1m2f for just the second time and he's not fully exposed.

SR 58 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at .

Two Yarmouth runs over 1m2f in April tie in closely with A Major Payne, including when a whisker behind that rival in third a fortnight ago; shouldn't be much between the pair again.

Lightly raced 7yo who can race freely; off the mark for this yard when beating 13 others at Nottingham (1m2f, good) in April; backed that up with creditable third (AW) when 1m3f just looked to stretch him 11 days ago; player.

1m2f winner who landed a fourth success for this yard when scoring at Lingfield (1m, AW) in March; step back in the right direction when sixth of 12 at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last time and return to this trip could help.

Had a fine time of it once handicapping over 1m2f last term, going back-to-back at Chelmsford (AW) and Leicester (good to firm) in the summer before repeating the feat in AW handicaps on her final two starts of the year; still looks competitively handicapped and no obvious reason why she shouldn't resume her progress on this return.

SR 81 suggests ability but reflects a stiff ask in this field.
