Form & Verdict
Multiple sprint winner, including C&D, but generally disappointing in 2022; well beaten at Redcar ten days ago but does drop in class today; handles soft ground and significant rain could turn his draw into a positive; worth a market check.

Five wins on Tapeta elsewhere but has run only twice on this track; had a slow time of it in 2024 but he's well treated now and emerged from a break with a good run at Newcastle (5f; in refitted blinkers) last week; return to 6f will suit; every chance.
