Readily saw off eight rivals at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month but he's been disappointing in both subsequent runs; has something to prove again and he has form figures of 5097 at Bath.

His last win was in September 2024 but that was off 19lb higher at Chester, and he ran well to finish third at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month; still lightly raced on turf and has possibilities if he handles the conditions back in this sphere (best form has been on soft ground).

9.5f winner here last February when trained by Ian Williams; runner-up in two of his last three starts, the latest when finishing a neck behind Pessoa over C&D ten days ago (wandered around in front and rather threw it away); more minor money a real possibility.

All five wins have come here, the latest over C&D in December, and he was short-headed over 7f here on March 12; this hold-up horse was on the wrong end of a pace bias when 2l sixth over C&D last Saturday and could play a leading role if this pans out more favourably.
