Gained a third success of 2026 at Beverley (5f) in July; runner-up in Great St Wilfrid over this C&D last month and posted another very good effort with fifth of 23 in the Silver Cup at Ayr (6f) one week ago; well in the mix eased 1lb.

Front-runs; all five wins at 5f, including on heavy; useful 6f form when runner-up in the Great St Wilfrid at Ripon last month, albeit helped by racing against the stands' rail; dropped right out in the Portland at Doncaster since and this is also highly competitive; yard has won two of the last seven runnings.

From humble beginnings he's done so well in 6f turf handicaps and a recent win from in-form rivals here (good to soft; second was wide-margin winner on Saturday) took him to 2-2 over this C&D; up 4lb but he's from an illustrious sprinting family and he can continue a stealthy upward climb.

Multiple sprint wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; back to best when making all at Sandown in June and he might have needed the run there last week following a break; now goes in cheekpieces which raises a question as blinkers weren't a successful addition in the past.
