'High in the weights now but repeat of recent 1m Group 2 second would see him go close.'

'Last two runs (both 1m2f) have been sound but needs big leap forward to get competitive'

'Two good efforts in better company since November C&D Group 3 win; back from short break.'

'Hinted at a return to form when 1.25l fourth last time; well treated if back to his best.'

'Not in the best form at present but only beaten by a head when second in this in 2024.'

'Has been running creditably in Pattern races; good second last time; should be bang there.'

'Has run better than form figures suggest in three runs this season but still up against it'

'High in the handicap after two dirt successes; needs a big career best to go close.'

'Reasonably handicapped following fair efforts in better company; back from two months off.'

'Excelled at this time last year (won this race); up in the weights now; lacks recent form.'

'Highly capable on his day but hard to predict; 0.5l third in Happy Valley Group 3 latest.'
