In frame all 7 starts on the Flat and showed aptitude in pair of juvenile hurdles in the winter. Remains on fair mark in this sphere and holds place claims after 158 days off.

Much-improved in handicaps during second half of last year, signing off with back-to-back victories at Newcastle in the autumn. Good second there (12.4f) 11 days ago. Respected in first-time visor.

Fairly useful at best on the Flat and took reasonably well to hurdling last summer, though ended campaign with pair of disappointing efforts in handicap hurdles. Been given chance by handicapper back on Flat.

Looked rusty on return from hurdling when seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (12f, AW) 25 days ago, merely closing up late. Entitled to be sharper now but others make more appeal.

Course winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good, 15/2) 11 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Sliding down the weights without any sign of taking advantage.

2 wins last year (at Pontefract and Newbury). Excuses last start. Off 8 months/gelded. Should progress.

Consistent sort who posted another fine effort when second of 14 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft) 12 days ago. Should give another good account if staying the longer trip.

Unreliable type. C&D winner. In first-time cheekpieces, respectable third of 8 in handicap at this course (12f, AW). Off 91 days. Others more persuasive.

Didn't improve quite as much as expected for longer trip when sixth of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (14f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals.

Fared no better on return from hurdling when last of 11 in handicap at Goodwood (14f, good to soft) 8 days ago and he looks up against it.

Forecasts

Wagga Wagga (10/3), God Of Thunder (7/2), Wholeofthemoon (4/1), Rafiki (11/2), Citizen General (8/1), Age Of Sail (17/2), Pistoletto (20/1), Crimson King (25/1), Geelong (25/1), Good Time Ahead (100/1)

Verdict

WAGGA WAGGA was a dual winner last season and is best excused his odds-on defeat in a messy race at Newbury when last seen. He's fancied to resume his improvement, though the consistent trio of Wholeofthemoon, Citizen General and God of Thunder should all be capable of giving him something to think about.
