Form & Verdict
Narrow 6f defeat at Chepstow last August but his next two runs at the trip were a failure and kept to shorter since, winning at Haydock (good to soft) in September; two respectable efforts at 5f this year (no aids latest) don't suggest this mark is ripe for plucking back at 6f, though.

Saw off All Ways Glamorous to land this race on good to soft 12 months ago; smart handicap performance when a clearcut winner at Windsor (6f, good to firm) in June; hasn't fully confirmed that improvement in strong races since but he shaped quite well (briefly not clear run) when keeping-on fifth of 21 in the recent Portland at Doncaster (5.5f, good); can make a bold bid to defend his crown.

Five 6f wins in 2025, on AW and turf (good); now 14lb higher than his final run on grass last year and, although he faced difficult tasks in two Newmarket starts this spring, he might have run better in the second of them; needs to raise his turf game.

Has run all over the place for different yards and in good form for this one, finishing close up in a big 6f York race before winning at Thirsk (6f, good); had a very stiff task in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot where he did well to hang on to his lead for as long as he did on the wrong side of the track; this easy 6f will suit better; can go well.

Quite lightly raced since going up 11lb for a wide-margin win at Newmarket (6f, good) in May 2025, but a recent second on soft ground at Epsom (6f; cheekpieces refitted) was a useful effort at the weights and showed him to be back on track; should be in contention again.
