Gained three 6f wins on the AW last spring but he went off the boil and refused to race in the Ayr Silver Cup on his final outing; hard to see him breaking his turf duck after eight months off.

9st 10lb

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Grant Tuer

He had a very good run on AW in the spring, winning three in a row over 6f, but was last to finish on his latest start in May; it's hard to see him breaking his turf duck off an 18lb higher mark than his most recent defeat on grass in June 2024.

OR: 80

Form & Verdict
Yet to add to his debut success but he has been in good form since switched to AW, going desperately close at Chelmsford and over C&D and then only giving best to two more patiently ridden rivals over C&D last month; big player off this mark.

Arrives in good heart, following a third to Badri at Windsor with a battling success on the same course (6f, good to firm) 12 days ago; up 5lb for the win but that form was boosted when runner-up Trefor went one better here on Wednesday; needs to be considered.

First win since his 2yo debut when scoring off a reduced mark at Chepstow (6f, good to firm) 26 days ago; back up 5lb but his confidence should be boosted after that success and he has been generally consistent in handicaps; shortlisted.

Form & Verdict
Finally put his head back in front at Lingfield in January, only to be disqualified for weighing in light; runner-up on his next three starts but his form dipped at Wolverhampton last month; type to bounce back quickly.

Prominent racer with three C&D wins to his name; a switch to a visor worked the oracle when winning at Newcastle last month but he couldn't sustain his effort back there two weeks ago; blinkers back on today and others are preferred for win purposes.
