C&D winner (good to firm) last time, he's the only 3yo in this field and he's progressing
5 (1)	Percy Shelley Bay J:Rossa Ryan T:James Owen	J:Rossa Ryan T:James Owen	138	v	736322	81	93	86	24d	—	—	+1	25.6	0.69/1	11/4 27%
All three wins were in France in 2022 but thereabouts plenty of times since

Tailed off on AW penultimate start, though 2m (first go) not to blame; solid 2025 at 1m6f

Now 19lb below his peak 2024 mark; third of five at Sandown (1m6f; stays 2m) latest start

Off 540 days before this season; significant ability remains but not proven beyond 1m6f

No joy since March 2023 and none of his turf form (ten races) gets near this handicap mark
3 (4)	Legendary Day Bay J:Kieran O'Neill T:Barry Brennan	J:Kieran O'Neill T:Barry Brennan	140	—	57-177	83	89	22	—	—	—	+7	8.8	16.50/1	66/1 1%
Won a 2m AW Flat race (2lb higher today) this February; too inconsistent for comfort
