Won an 11-runner 0–85 handicap at Redcar in May by a neck from Bravo Zulu but found life tougher back up in grade at Epsom last time. Back at a more suitable level here.

6/1
Useful sprinter at best who showed promise on first 2 outings for this yard in April and May. Failed to build on those 2 efforts at Thirsk last time but has dropped another 2 lb and dips into 0-90 company for the first time since winning at Redcar as a 3-y-o. One to be interested in.

Won 3 times in 2025, including twice at this course. Good efforts when placed first 3 starts this year and shaped better than distance beaten suggests when 5¾ lengths fourth of 9 to Rock Opera at this course 19 days ago, short of room approaching final 1f.

5/1
Looked difficult ride on return but proved much more straightforward when winning 18-runner handicap at Ascot in May, edging out Juan Les Pins by a head. Up 3 lb, but relatively low mileage as a sprint handicapper and claims if able to repeat that effort.

Ended nearly 2-year losing run when winning C&D handicap 19 days ago, beating Alpha Capture by 1¼ lengths. Remains well handicapped on past form and looks capable of following up from 5 lb higher.

A 4-time winner last year and showed the benefit of reappearance when second of 9 at Thirsk early last month. Hasn't kicked on from that effort since and, though well handicapped on his best form, it's hard to make a case for him unless market says otherwise.

Forecasts

Rock Opera (5/2), Mister Sox (5/2), Ray Mon Dough (9/2), Azure Zain (5/1), The Good Biscuit (11/2), Russet Gold (6/1), Badri (9/1)

Verdict

ROCK OPERA snapped a near two-year losing run over C&D 19 days ago and may be able to defy a 5 lb rise. The Good Biscuit is better than his latest result and can get involved, while Azure Zain merits respect if reproducing the form of his recent Ascot success.
