J: Rossa Ryan

Triple C&D winner who took advantage of a reduced mark when coming from rear to score at Brighton (7f, good) in August; remains well treated on old form but his spark was missing at Kempton last time and he needs to step up again after that.

Form & Verdict
0-15 since winning in August 2023 on his third start but he's run well more often than not for his new yard this season and was runner-up over C&D (good) a fortnight ago; there's every chance he'll be in the mix.

Sole win came in a 1m novice as a 2yo and although he's run some good races on downhill tracks this year, including over C&D (good; acts on soft), he isn't obviously ahead of his mark; should be thereabouts even so.

Lightly raced 4yo who got back on track with a good fourth of eight over C&D last time (good), when less than 1l behind the runner-up Mafnood; another 1lb lower today (and 2lb better off with Mafnood); might not be far away.

He's won just once since making his British debut in October 2023; however, that came this January (7f, AW) and a slow start proved costly when back at 6f at Southwell last Thursday; effective on turf and might not be far away now back up in trip.
