Form & Verdict
Has a patchy profile but he won twice (1m2f/1m4f) for Joe Tickle last year and was a creditable second on stable debut at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta) last Saturday; only 1lb higher here and he could make another bold bid back in trip.

Began 2026 with two good placed efforts over 1m2f at Lingfield; easy enough to strike a line through latest effort as he ended up poorly positioned in a race run at a stop-start tempo; drops in trip and steps up in class today; others appeal more.

8yo who went 21 months without a win but has now scored at Windsor, Lingfield, Chepstow and Ripon in his four races this turf season; his second in this race last year was a remote one and the 6lb rise since his latest start asks a question, but conditions fine and he's on a major roll, ridden by Sarah Bowen on last two starts (two in four days); major player.
