Useful listed winner on the Flat when trained by S. Kobayashi in France. Won novice hurdle at Uttoxeter from 2 starts for Robert Eddery when last seen in 2024. Probably best watched unless market speaks otherwise on handicap/yard debut.

Won 3 times in 2025, ending firmly on the up with a gutsy success in 9-runner handicap at Leicester (1½m) in October. Returned with a fine second at Goodwood in May before finding softer conditions too much at Epsom just 2 weeks later. Has to be on the shortlist switched to the all-weather.

Successful twice last season. Shaped as if retaining ability on both outings this season, fourth of 11 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, good to firm, 10/3) when last seen in May. Makes tapeta debut and has each-way claims.

Doubled his tally on first start for new yard at Meydan (1½m, good) in January having left Roger Varian. Disappointed on next 2 starts but got back on track when sixth of 9 in handicap at Ascot (1½m, good to firm) 13 days ago. Needs to back that up with the hood left off.

Last success came in the Cambridgeshire in autumn 2023. Had been off the best part of 2 years (also had a breathing operation) prior to seasonal reappearance and it remains to be seen just how much ability he retains.

Ended 2025 on the upgrade with wins at Kempton and Nottingham. Didn't need to improve to complete the hat-trick in 10-runner handicap at Chester (10.3f, good to soft, 10/3) on return in June. He's on a roll and is unexposed at middle-distances, so has to be taken seriously.

Ended 2025 with a York success and proved better than ever when winning at Chester on return. Below form next 2 starts and more is required now making all-weather debut.

Failed to meet expectations on debut last summer but has proved a different proposition since, improving a chunk when winning at Lingfield in December. Off since but likely has more to come this year.

Steadily progressive course winner last year. Got back to winning ways on last 2 starts at Pontefract and York just 4 days apart in June, with a career best in first-time cheekpieces for the latter under a penalty. Needs another career best after a 6 lb rise in the weights.

Has returned better than ever, justifying good support at Doncaster in March before following up despite doing plenty wrong round here the following month. Made the frame twice from 3 starts since, latest when fourth at Ripon (1m, good) 19 days ago. Got to prove stamina now significantly up in trip.

Lightly raced 4-y-o who clearly derived plenty from his York reappearance when posting a good second at Newcastle in June, doing well to get amongst those who sat at the head of affairs. Needs to bounce back from a couple of below-par efforts on the turf.

Made the frame at Carlisle and York in early-summer. Found the John Smith's Cup at latter course too competitive last month before finishing fourth of 7 at Ripon (1½m, good) just a week later. Place claims at best.
