T: Kevin Ryan

Wins have all come on good or softer turf and he confirmed his liking for Hamilton when making it 3-5 there early last month; currently 0-6 on the AW (all Tapeta) and a 5lb rise sees him on a career-high mark for a yard that might be in better form.

Won two in a row over C&D last September (good to soft/soft) and returned to form with very close fourth at Southwell (6f, AW) in April on his second start of the season; slow ground would be a major boost to his claims.

Conditions should be ideal for this course regular and although his 2026 record is unconvincing, he has dropped 14lb as a result; usual cheekpieces back on after one run in a visor; each-way shout.
