Hard to predict and was out the back on his C&D reappearance last month, but he may have needed that run and he won this race (firm) off 3lb higher last year; should get a good pace to aim at and he needs a close look in the market.

Two wins last year, including C&D, and two 7f AW runs this spring aren't the ones to judge him on (huge prices and now 0-15 on AW); better expected back up in trip and returned to grass and he has the assistance of talented 7lb claimer Jack Dace in the saddle.

Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces.

Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day.

Form & Verdict
Made a winning handicap and stable debut at Bath in April 2023 (1m, soft); hasn't added to it in 11 further outings but he has often run well, including first time out last season; fast ground would be a concern but otherwise he has plenty to recommend him at this level.
