Added to his two turf wins when finishing well to score on AW at Lingfield (7f) last October; hasn't hit the same level in two subsequent runs but he returned after wind surgery with a fair third in a Class 4 at Salisbury (7f, good) last month; looks worth another try at this trip and he's in the mix on this drop back in grade.

The most recent of his six wins came at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April 2025 off a mark 3lb higher than today's but he has posted some good efforts since; however, he was below his best at Salisbury 19 days ago and needs to bounce back with cheekpieces back on.

Only one pound higher than when winning at last year's festival; had the same high draw then, so should not be ruled out; has to bounce back from a below-par Salisbury run; previous fourth placings at Doncaster and Thirsk were respectable; had the same high draw last year.

Strike-rate of 4-35; best run for a while when a front-running second at Lingfield (7f, good) and dropping back to 6f won't hinder, nor the slower ground; could have done with a higher draw ideally but should run well.
