Form & Verdict
Six-time turf winner; still unexposed on AW and he swooped late to narrowly deny Dutch Kingdom at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month; 3lb higher on this step back up in grade but he should get a good tow into the race and could be a big factor again.

His last win was in July 2023 but he was a close third off 14lb higher in this race last year; has been up and down in 2024 but his third at Lingfield two weeks ago was a fair effort behind Havanagreattime; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he can build on that back in trip.
