Caused a surprise with his 25-1 win at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) last month but he came up short when dropped back to 5f there (fourth of nine) last time; that wasn't a bad effort but he needs to find more to defy this mark.

Surprise winner here three weeks ago, back from a break over 6f (previous wins all came over 5f); a 5lb rise leaves little wiggle room but he saw off a subsequent winner that night and has won back-to-back in the past.

Registered his second win when scoring over C&D last month off 5lb lower; went close to following up when going down by half a length at Lingfield (6f, AW) 13 days ago and may be worth persevering with at present.

All three wins have been on AW and he has form figures of 1221 since July; 3lb higher than for his narrow success at Lingfield (5f) last time but he made all to beat a clear second and hit another personal best with that brave effort; key player.

Bids for his third straight win in this race, 2lb higher than for his 2024 win and 1lb higher than 12 months ago; slow starts have been an issue in recent outings but he retains ability and it will be no surprise to see him go well with cheekpieces now given a go.

Form & Verdict
Has three course wins over 5f but has winning form over 6f; hold-up tactics worked to a tee at Chester (5f, good) last month when he weaved through the pack to win by a neck; such tactics do not always pay off so will do well to repeat those here.
