Form & Verdict

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.

Form & Verdict
Similar level of modest form in three novice runs on turf as a 2yo (6f-7f); gelded prior to this reappearance/handicap debut and he's bred to be better than a Class 6 handicapper; betting useful.
