Headstrong sort but he's taken his form up a notch since cheekpieces went on, scoring at Pontefract (1m) in June before beaten a nose when a clear second at Doncaster (1m) since having hung badly left in front; not the easiest of rides but a player once more here.

Runner-up at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last month then went one better in commanding style in first-time cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m, good); could have more to offer in the headgear; strong claims under 5lb penalty.

Put his experience to good use at Chelmsford in January and nearly rallied to win at Lingfield the following month (both 1m); not as potent in three runs since and will turn up here having been gelded; stall 12 tricky given he likes to race prominently.

Easy winner off a 9lb lower mark on handicap debut at Ripon in May (1m, good); creditable third at Doncaster next time (1m, good to soft) but connections blamed the faster ground when well below his best last time at Pontefract (1m, good); today's sharp 7f on fast ground unlikely to suit.

Last four wins have been over C&D, including when he was switched to this headgear nine days ago and got up close home to register his best show this season (The New Bay Pearl fourth); back up 3lb but still well treated on 2025 form; has to be in serious calculations.

Beaten a long way on reappearance at Doncaster (1m2f, good to firm) four weeks ago and it's hard to be confident on the back of that; however, he may have needed the run and he was a close second of five at Redcar (1m, good) last November in his sole nursery; a case can be made on that form.
