Three wins over 6f in 2025, including for this yard at Chepstow in August; race run to suit but produced a personal best when second over 7f here 12 days ago; up 2lb; moving back up to 1m can't be deemed a positive.

His two wins for Ross Burdon have come at a lower level; disappointed at Kempton when last seen and although he is relatively unexposed at 6f, he will need a clear personal best to take this after 108 days off.
