Won last summer on all of his first four starts once stepped up to 1m2f, on a range of ground; off two months before losing that proud record in October over C&D but he ran creditably to go down by just 3l; it's possible he can resume his progress this term and the market can give clues.

Not a prolific winner, with his waiting tactics, and never involved when 7-1 for last year's 1m4f Duke of Edinburgh at this meeting; however, it would be unwise not to recall his fourth in the Ebor at York last August (1m6f, good to firm) off a 1lb higher mark and he was unsuited by the steady pace at York last time out (1m4f); could get competitive should this pan out favourably; stable won this in 2022.

Hard to fancy on the evidence of the last 12 months but he was useful in his prime and he's one to watch in the betting off a reduced mark on his third start for this yard.

A dual 1m2f scorer in 2024 for Simon and Ed Crisford; failed to fire for Susan Corbett last year, though, and he came in a below-par fifth for his new yard in 1m Bath handicap last month; not easy to make a case for.

Form & Verdict
Soft-ground nursery winner in October 2023 and best efforts last year (placed over 1m2f/1m in the autumn) came on soft/heavy; left Ralph Beckett for 105,000gns in October and beaten more than 20l in two races on good to firm in Bahrain this year; well treated if reverting to best 2024 form.

Only win in 23 runs was a 1m nursery at York in October 2023 for Ralph Beckett; badly out of form this season and cheekpieces now tried.

Long time since his sole win and two duck eggs this term help to demonstrate a big doubt over his current form.
