Battled well to win from the front over C&D (good) 17 days ago, his second success this season; ought to give another good account but recent 2lb nudge could be enough to leave him vulnerable.

Form & Verdict
His last two wins have come over C&D, the latest in this race 12 months ago when rated 4lb higher; those wins were on soft but he's fully effective on faster ground, as when close up behind The Cola Kid here 11 days ago (first run for 203 days); talented apprentice booked; high on the list.

His last win was over C&D but that was in a novice in December 2022; very well treated on old form but he's faded in his five runs this year and was beaten 15l at Chepstow (7-2) last time; had a difficult track position in that race but he needs a big turnaround back in trip.
