J: Miss Sarah Bowen

T: Tony Carroll

8yo who went 21 months without a win but has now scored at Windsor, Lingfield, Chepstow and Ripon in his four races this turf season; his second in this race last year was a remote one and the 6lb rise since his latest start asks a question, but conditions fine and he's on a major roll, ridden by Sarah Bowen on last two starts (two in four days); major player.

Generally consistent sort on turf/AW; still 2lb higher than for his last win (September 2025), but he ran better than the bare facts when returned to this sphere at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) last month; has claims if he gets some luck and his turf win was over this trip.
