Form & Verdict
On the up since a hood was fitted, winning two of his last four starts (good runs in second on the other two occasions); there is no obvious reason why he won't prove equally effective at 6f and there could be some more mileage in his mark; strong claims.

Enjoyed a fine 2025 when a six-time winner (from 5f to 7f); ended up with a lot to do when good third of 13 in 1m Thirsk handicap two weeks ago so he's a player off an unchanged mark.

Won six races at 5f-7f between January and May 2025 but off after a lesser effort in July and down the field here on his return in April; has gone close over the extended 7f at Beverley so should stay an easy 1m if back to full strength but others look stronger for the win.

Six wins in the first half of 2025, notably when seeing off 21 rivals at York last May; absent for nine months but Paul Mulrennan has been booked for his return (two wins and two seconds from five rides on him) and this should be run to suit.

Ran his best race so far when a front-running third of 12 at Southwell four weeks ago (hooded for the first time); could have more to offer and he's more appealing than many.
