Often makes the running but came from towards rear under Harry Vigors to win a six-runner race at Wolverhampton (1m6f) on latest outing; that broke a long losing run but he's usually competitive and has won over C&D; player.

Missed the whole of 2025; needs to put a lesser effort in a 0-95 contest at Hamilton (1m5f, good) last month behind him, but this is easier and he is just 1lb higher than for his last win, which came over this trip.

Both wins have been on AW (latest in March) and her only run at this track did not go well, when favourite over 1m6f on heavy on final start last term; close second with first-time cheekpieces at Goodwood (2m, good) on latest outing, however, is a notable positive.

Both wins have been on AW and latest was on her Southwell reappearance (1m4f) in March; only 3lb higher than for that win but she faded at Wolverhampton (1m6f) last time and is untried at this trip; comes with risks attached and she's not been easy to predict in handicaps; first-time cheekpieces.
