Won on the nod at Doncaster (good to firm) last time, looking suited by the step up to 7f and surging back to form; unexposed over this trip and may remain competitive, provided he takes to first-time cheekpieces (faced difficult task when once in blinkers).

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 6yo who hasn't won on turf since May 2024, when dead-heating at Thirsk (7f, good to firm); down the field in two decent handicaps this season but beaten less than 6l on each occasion and takes a significant drop in grade; has to be considered.

Returned to form when going very close at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last month and again ran well when third of 13 at Haydock (1m, good) 12 days ago; it's possible he's better over 7f but he might not be far away; has won on good to soft, unraced on softer.

It was a small field at Ripon (1m, good to firm) in which he returned to form last time, when battling it out with Command The Stars and Noelan Star, and this is much more competitive; however, his two best RPRs have come at York and he's 4lb lower than when second of 14 here (7f, good) in May; could go well at a big price if conditions suit (unproven on slow ground).
