Form & Verdict
The form of last season's two C&D wins is strong and he confirmed his preference for AW with a good third at Southwell last month (6f, Class 3; blinkered first time), leading in the straight but picked off late by two slightly more efficiently ridden rivals; strong claims back down in grade.

These conditions bring out the best in him and was taking his C&D record to 4-6 when finishing with a flourish to win a strong handicap last month; remains capable of further progress and although he has something to find at the weights, a bigger concern is the prospect of a tactical event.

Better on AW than turf and his C&D record reads 31511 (including this race 12 months ago); endured a troubled passage at Newcastle on his most recent AW run and still looked in form; no show in the Stewards' Cup but this is altogether more suitable; Oisin Murphy rides for the first time.

Ended 2024 on the up and he confirmed himself a progressive sprinter when running out the impressive winner of a C&D handicap on last month's return from 169 days off (2-2 at Kempton); subsequent turf defeat off an 8lb lower mark is excusable (5f looked too sharp and he didn't look at ease on the track); should be seen to better effect today and may not have reached his ceiling.
