Form & Verdict
Three wins last year came over 7f and he's run only twice over this trip (didn't fare badly over C&D off 5lb higher in the spring); inconsistent but well drawn, having made most over 6f off this mark last time, and holds claims on that.

Three wins in the second half of last year (various ground; the final one over C&D); he's struggled to get competitive for most of this year but has dropped down the weights and ran well when fourth of 13 at Newcastle (5f, AW) last time; another 2lb lower today and he's one to consider.

Consistent enough but doesn't win very often, his victories all coming round easy courses; hit traffic when well held at Newcastle on Thursday and has landed the inside stall, but he is some way down the pecking order back on turf.

Hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he did score twice in 2025, the latter win over C&D; 3lb higher in a better race this time and he'll need to be somewhere near last year's best to take this after four months off.
