Late-maturing 7yo who won 6f Group 2 handicap in October; respected

Won this in 2025 and will find this easier than recent assignments; likely contender

Made the frame in Group handicaps on both starts this season; good chance

Held in 1m Group 2 last time but was very progressive in 7f handicaps beforehand

1m Group 1 winner in his prime but very much on the downgrade now

Placed in last season's Classic Cup but very little has gone to plan this term
7 (4)	Aeris Nova Bay J:K C Leung T:W K Mo	J:K C Leung T:W K Mo	118	tb	64231-	91	114	-	18d	—	—	—	24.9	—	—

Won on turf in 2023 but is best known as a dirt specialist; can be opposed over this C&D
9 (12)	Dancing Code b/br J:Alexis Badel T:C Fownes	J:Alexis Badel T:C Fownes	116	t	12845-	91	121	-	18d	—	—	—	13.8	—	—
Holds no secrets from the handicapper but this consistent 7yo probably won't be far away

Career-best form when winning over 6f 12 days ago; 8lb higher mark leaves him vulnerable
