Everards Of Leicestershire Handicap

Turf wins on good to soft and slower ground; rarely runs at 5f now but he showed he still has the pace for the trip when edged out only near the line on Lingfield AW in September; ran flat when turned out quickly next time but worth considering back on grass if ground conditions suit.

Smart on his day, as when close up in a Group 3 at Newbury (7f, good to soft) in April 2024; showed he was sharp enough for 5f when going down in a tight finish at Hamilton (good; four ran) in August and although below that level since he'll be suited by a return to good to soft ground in this lower grade than of late; has run well in a visor and it's now refitted.

Won debut at Ascot (5f, soft) in sole 2yo start; missed 2024 but made a respectable return at Ripon, only to find the tough 6f on Newcastle AW stretching him in August; has potential back at 5f on handicap debut.

Improved 5f form in July, winning on AW before persevering well when a close second of 13 in a Racing League race at Yarmouth (soft); still in form in August but could never improve his position at Doncaster (5f, soft; just behind Hiya Maite) since; this more searching test can suit and he can be thereabouts.

Has improved since visor added, winning two in a row over 5f at Ripon and Newmarket (on good and good to firm; acts on good to soft); up against it on tough terms in Listed event since but this is more her level and she remains of interest.
