Won on AW in December (6f) and March (5f) but ran poorly at Wolverhampton four weeks ago; 0-13 on turf and others have more compelling profiles.

Made it 2-2 over C&D when scraping home last month; up 2lb, but that latest run came after 79 days off so he could be a bit sharper for it; high on list.

Recorded an RPR of 103 on his seasonal return last April but the wheels have come off since; went off quickly and didn't get home in a 6f handicap at Kempton three weeks ago (blinkered first time); returns to 5f and things might click again soon.

Both wins were on turf in 2024 but he's well treated on old form and has run respectably on Tapeta (5f/6f) in last two starts; can make the running and it wouldn't be a surprise if he made a bold bid back in this sphere.

Having tumbled down the weights there were signs of a possible revival when keeping on for third in a 5f handicap at Wolverhampton last week (attracted support); Rossa Ryan retains the ride and today's return to 6f won't be an issue; can't discount.

Back to form with a bang when blitzing his rivals at Wolverhampton last week, setting strong fractions and coming home 3.25l in front; 3lb well in under a penalty and he is better drawn today than when widest of all at Wolverhampton; effective over C&D; obvious chance.
