J: Connor Beasley

T: Michael Dods

He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results.

One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground.

Ended 2025 in excellent form when runner-up on his last three runs; shaped encouragingly after seven months off when eighth of 11 in 1m1f handicap at Ayr ten days ago, leading until 1f out; should strip sharper now and this low-mileage 4yo merits serious consideration in his bid for a breakthrough victory.
