Coped well with the drop to 5f when winning the Gosforth Park Cup on Newcastle AW in June; respectable fifth in a Beverley Listed event (5f, heavy) 13 days ago, albeit without any excuses; this trip should be fine and he handles all ground; each-way shout back in a handicap.

Group 3 win on soft ground in Germany in 2024; chequered history since but the drop to 5f and fitting of a tongue-tie sparked a transformation at Newcastle in June, winning the Gosforth Park Cup in game fashion; not certain to be in the same form again but he won't be far away if he is.

Six AW runs have yielded four wins, a second and a close fifth (stable debut after a six-month break and off a 7lb higher mark than today's); has blown hot and cold on turf since April but the blinkers worn for his last four wins now return (has raced exclusively in cheekpieces since joining Robert Cowell) and he should make a bold bid to maintain an unbeaten C&D record.
