In top form for most of 2025, completing a cross-code 5-timer in a minor event at Cheltenham in October. Shaped well in a high-end Festival handicap back there in March and upped to 2m for the for the first time on the level, there could be even more to come.
Had some strong form in defeat in novice company last season and ended 2025 in excellent order. completing hat-trick at Wolverhampton in November (1¾m). Isn't obviously ahead of current mark judged on both comeback runs in recent weeks, though he does now tackle 2m.
Enjoyed a very productive campaign in 2025, winning 7 times upon an intense schedule. Form mixed more recently, held when short of room in the Chester Plate 2 weeks ago.
Having shaped much better than the result in the Cesarewitch, ran his best race when runner-up in valuable 2m handicap at Kempton in December. That form (winner followed up next-time-out) puts him firmly in the mix on return to turf.
Low-mileage 4-y-o who ended 2025 firmly on the up with 2m handicap wins at Kempton and Nottingham in the autumn. Took strong hold but excellent return to action when third of 7 over C&D 3 weeks ago. Remains one to be interested in.

Forecasts
Give It To Me Oj (11/8), Bahadur (7/2), Sax Appeal (5/1), St Mawes (11/2), Caprelo (6/1)
A quintet of stayers to view positively with preference for GIVE IT TO ME OJ, who could have even more to offer on the Flat now upped to 2m. St Mawes produced an excellent effort on reappearance over C&D recently so he's feared most.
