Form & Verdict
Not one for the faint-hearted with one win (a 5f Wolverhampton maiden at 4-11 in 2023) and 12 seconds on his scorecard, but he was running well in January and might have just needed it at Kempton (6f) in March after a pause; off another 44 days since but this is a career-low mark and Ryan Moore rides him for the first time.

He'd been headed when badly hampered at Newbury recently (not recover) but was without his usual visor, in which he was running really well in defeat previously under Chloe Lyons at up to 5.2f; he should be fine at this trip; the visor returns and he could bounce back with a big run.

Runner-up in this race last year and he scored off 1lb lower at Chester (5f, good) last July; never a threat on his reappearance at Lingfield (6f) last month but he pulled hard and this drop back in trip is a positive; usually comes from off the pace and has claims if he gets the breaks.

First visit here but has won on Polytrack; running consistently on AW before getting up late on when switched to turf at Leicester (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; likely to be thereabouts but a 2lb nudge puts him back to his career-high mark and the drop back to 5f (0-4) asks a question.
