Formscan  - L'astroboy was off the track from March 2023 to December 2025 and, although yet to recapture his best, two races this season might see him returning to his peak. Vol Royale makes his handicap debut after winning a maiden and a novice on his last two starts and he has to be considered, but GLYNN BRAE is preferred. Down in class after struggling in better races, he won a similar contest at Sandown in November off 2lb lower and gets on well with jockey Toby McCain-Mitchell.
