Gained a superb ninth success of the winter in 6f Newcastle handicap 25 days ago; gamely making all; reverts to turf now off a career-high mark but he's a big player once more.

Dual winner here off much lower marks this time last year for the hood first going on; hard to knock a record over C&D of three wins, two seconds and a third from seven starts and there's no obvious reason he won't go well once more.

In fine form at 6f on the AW of late, winning at Southwell and Newcastle; has a better strike-rate on sand than turf (1-17) but he was running to a similar level on grass as AW in 2025 and it may be unwise to presume he's a one-surface wonder; respected.

Most wins come over 5f and doesn't often go 6f these days; another in-form effort for Cian Horgan when unlucky not to go closer still here last Wednesday, but in a race run to suit over 5f and there's little wiggle room off this mark.

Yet to win a handicap but he was twice placed off a 7lb higher mark last September; two AW runs last month should have sharpened him up and this is a drop in grade; apprentice takes off a valuable 5lb but a wide draw on his first attempt at 5f, and a sharp one at that, dents confidence.
