Generally in good form on AW since December and regained the winning thread at Kempton (6f) most recently; goes without usual cheekpieces but that was also the case when he scored over C&D (off 2lb higher) in 2024; warrants respect.

He has turned in a string of good runs since joining Fionn McSharry; only fifth on his last two starts but dropped 2lb as a result and he has races in him off this sort of mark; Oisin Murphy booked; contender.

Four wins on Tapeta elsewhere, at 5f-7f, all in 2024; has been involved in several tight finishes since December, including for Oisin Murphy at Kempton (6f) in April, and while he's been on much the same mark throughout, he's worth another go over a bare 5f; thereabouts.

This is his first run since April 2024 and it remains to be seen how much ability he retains; however, the handicapper has given this two-time C&D winner a chance, and he's not ruled out on his first run for John Ryan (has left John Butler); watch the betting.
