A dual 7f scorer for Archie Watson in 2025 and he signed off for the yard with a solid sixth at Kempton (7f) 57 days ago; since changed hands for 20,000gns and he can't be discounted for his new handler.

Prominent racer; the winner of three of his nine runs for Archie Watson, including two wins and a second from three AW starts; bumped into a promising filly at Kempton six weeks ago but his subsequent 3lb rise won't help matters.

Form & Verdict
Recent turf form features a 5f success and he's perhaps not crying out for this return to 7f; effective on AW in the past but hasn't raced in this sphere since March 2024.

Losing run goes back to last December but he's dropped down the weights and his recent narrow defeat against a smart rival at York (5f, soft; has won at about 6f and on good) was a cracking effort; back up 3lb on course debut but he should be very competitive.

Yet to score this term but he's hinted he can put that right, his latest fourth at Beverley (5f, soft) being another such example; return to 6f is no bother and he won't mind how the ground is riding; career-low mark.

Yet to score this term but his sixth of 21 at the Ebor festival (6f, good to firm) indicated he might be rediscovering his level; that didn't prove the case at Windsor last time but he's too well handicapped to ignore and rain would certainly not hinder him.
