Multiple sprint wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; back to best when making all at Sandown in June and he might have needed the run there last week following a break; now goes in cheekpieces which raises a question as blinkers weren't a successful addition in the past.

Ended 2025 with two good AW runs at Kempton; down the field in three AW starts this year and he had been given a wind op before weakening on his return to turf at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago; nothing wrong with this mark and he drops in grade but the jury's out at the moment.

Back on his last successful mark (AW) and wins at Epsom and Chepstow (both on good ground) last summer suggest today's course should be fine; won't mind the return to 5f, either, having been pestered in front last time, and is one to consider.
