Sky Sports Racing Sky 415 Handicap

Dual winner in maiden/novice company over hurdles in 2025 for Anthony Honeyball but struggled in handicaps since. Offered little returned to the Flat on his debut for this yard when ninth of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (1¼m, good, 40/1) a fortnight ago.

Has done well since joining this yard, winning at Epsom and Windsor in July. Again ran well despite failing to settle when ¾-length second of 14 at Kempton towards the end of last month and paid the price late for a big move intention when third of 10 there (1½m) 10 days ago.

Runner-up on all-weather 3 times this year, the form of close second at Kempton in March reading particularly well. Creditable third from his lower turf mark at Windsor in August and whilst he was disappointing at Bath last time, this looks much easier than his previous all-weather assignments.

Scored over hurdles in June and off the mark on Flat when taking 9-runner handicap at Redcar (1¾m, good to firm) in August. Back to that sort of form despite not being best suited by a modest gallop when fourth of 12 at Newcastle (12.4f) 20 days ago. Even shorter trip here not certain to suit.

Quickly back to form when ¾-length third of 11 at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last month, doing well after having to make his effort widest. Came home in fourth but didn't really convince over the trip when upped to 1½m at Kempton 10 days ago.

Got off the mark at Kempton (1m) last April. Has steadily found his form again after a 13-month absence, conceding first run when making the frame for the second start in a row when runner-up in a 9-runner C&D handicap last week.

Remains a maiden after 32 runs and was only eighth of 9 in handicap at this C&D (500/1) 9 days ago.
