Faded over 2m3f on handicap debut at Chepstow; this sharper test might suit better

In the frame first five starts; entitled to need recent return to action

Placed in German Group 2 in 2023; ups and downs in Britain but has the form to figure

Not yet played a part in three handicaps and has it to prove from out of the weights
7	The Cox Express Bay J:Harry Kimber T:Robert Walford	J:Harry Kimber T:Robert Walford	150	p	374-20	82	100	68	22d	—	—	-2	12	1.38/1	11/2 15%
Well below best latest but will at least handle the conditions; capable of a good show
8	El Bandido Pancho Bay J:Rex Dingle T:Ben Clarke	J:Rex Dingle T:Ben Clarke	142	—	87P-9	74	83	45	22d	—	—	0	8.2	2.50/1	10/1 9%
Very modest form in four runs but makes handicap debut for in-form yard
5	Vendant Bay J:Niall Houlihan T:Richard Rowe	J:Niall Houlihan T:Richard Rowe	154	—	0/868-	86	93	84	262d	—	—	+8	9.5	12.50/1	50/1 2%
Some point promise in 2022; not obviously well treated on hurdle form now handicapping
NR	Let's Sail Away Bay J:NON-RUNNER T:Tom Lacey	J:NON-RUNNER T:Tom Lacey	168	—	154-5	100	95	-	30d	—	—	—	12.5	—	—
Won 2m4f point in late 2023; minor promise at about 2m; of more interest now handicapping

Seen in better light when 2nd at Ffos Las (2m4f) on return from wind op; can do better
