Travelled strongly for a long way but was headed towards the finish when 2nd of 12, beaten a head over 6 furlongs at Chelmsford at the end of last month. The drop in trip appeals for this former course winner.

A 15 race 3 year old maiden carries an element of caution but placed in 3 races over six here offers hope. One of those was over this trip under today's jockey beaten a length and a quarter off a 3 pound higher mark in September 2025. Failed to build on that when well beaten 5 days later also over course and distance but arguably that race came too soon and beaten a length and a quarter off a mark of 56 over course and distance on the 1st of November. Worth another look over this trip following 3 races over 7 furlongs here.

Ran on inside the final furlong when third of seven over a mile in a Class 5 here on Saturday. Turned round quickly for this. Remains on the same mark but has Lauren Young taking an attractive-looking 5-pound allowance this evening. That, combined with the drop in trip and ease in grade to Class 6, is appealing.

Wore the first-time blinkers when a respectable third of seventeen over the extended 2 miles at Exeter last month. That run was on the back of a 7-month absence, which he should come on for. Possible further improvement to come with the blinkers retained.

A course-and-distance winner off a 10-pound higher mark back in 2022, and twice a runner-up off higher marks too. Off the track for nearly a year when reappearing over an inadequate trip at Ayr in September, then well beaten over this trip at York in October. Won over a mile and three-quarters at Redcar on the penultimate start, and found the extended mile and a half here too sharp last time out. This step up in trip will suit.

Flash Gorcombe is now a pound below his last winning mark of 103, which was over a furlong shorter on soft ground at Exeter in January 2025. He struggled in four subsequent races last season off higher marks. He will come on for a recent run over course and distance following a 210-day absence.

Third over course and distance, beaten less than a length off a mark of 46 on the penultimate start, and a good winner at Chelmsford over this trip last time out. Up to a mark of 52 now, but with Donagh Murphy's 7-pound claim, is effectively a pound below that recent course-and-distance run.

A beaten favourite over course and distance beat 2.75 lengths off a 2-pound higher mark wearing blinkers on the penultimate start. Disappointed at Wolverhampton last time out where the blinkers were replaced with cheekpieces. The blinkers go back on, and with Donagh Murphy claiming 7 pounds high, Roman Emperor looks to be on an attractive effective mark of 46.

A previous winner over half a furlong shorter here in 2023, and his last win came over a furlong further off a mark of 144 at Kempton in November 2024. Just five races since that win and he is now down to a mark of 138. He will come on for a recent run here last month when well beaten but in need of the run following a seven-month absence. Trainer Nicky Henderson's horses are in good form, with seven winners from the last 30 runners.
