Four-time AW winner who returned to form when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) in March; record of 1-18 on turf but he went close at Chepstow (1m, good) last month and is a big player if he can back that up off unchanged mark.

Form & Verdict
Dropped out tamely when upped to 8.6f on AW recently and needs to put that run behind him but posted a string of good efforts over 7f/1m beforehand and has a fighting chance if back on song here.

Justified favouritism, by half a length, in C&D contest last week for a first win since 2024; incurs 5lb penalty but Donagh Murphy claims that amount; remains well treated on historical data anyway; respected, assuming he takes to first-time cheekpieces.
