Clearly a stayer on the upgrade having brought up an AW hat-trick with a convincing defeat of Maxident, who had a target on his back up the straight at Kempton (2m AW); worthy of the 7lb rise but how he'll deal with rain-hit ground is the glaring concern.

Effective here; goes well on testing ground, as he showed again when winning at Ffos Las (1m6f; stays 2m+) in September on latest start; 3lb rise today is far less concerning than a move away from soft or heavy ground; big player if conditions are in his favour.

Returned to Flat with short-priced wins (2m, good) at Ascot and Chester, leading over 2f out; firmly in command last time and looks well treated under a 5lb penalty; well beaten in two maidens here in 2023 but a close second in Polytrack handicap in 2025, and that's the sum of his AW record; hitting new heights on turf and a huge player if he's as effective on this surface.

Recorded a string of good efforts on a sound surface in 2024; missed last year but after a slow start this term there have been more encouraging signs on AW/soft on his last three starts; forecast ground will afford him a chance to race on sound turf since he finished second in this race off 9lb higher two years ago; very interesting.

His two wins last season (1m6f and 2m) both came on AW and by wide margins; also fully effective on turf and he made a most encouraging seasonal return when keeping on strongly in a 1m4f handicap (good ground) at Newmarket four weeks ago; still capable of better and the return to 1m6f will suit; Tom Marquand a good booking (a win and a fourth from two rides for the stable in the last five years); strong claims.
