Always the danger he'll fluff the start, as he did on his C&D comeback in March; not beaten far that day and is on his last winning mark but comes with risks attached.

Inconsistent last year and he can have issues at the start; however, he's feasibly treated on the pick of his 2025 efforts and his trainer's horses can go well when fresh; not ruled out.
