Form & Verdict
Continues in good form and holds leading claims on his latest Chelmsford third; that came over today's trip but he stays much further and this easy 1m2f wouldn't appeal as optimal.

A number of near-misses, mainly on AW, but boasts a poor strike-rate and hasn't won since 2019; was entitled to have needed his recent return from eight months off at his age, though, and holds claims after that.

Form & Verdict
His Wolverhampton win early in the year came off a 13lb higher mark, which highlights what he's achieved since; the drop back in trip may help but he's hard to recommend on recent efforts.

Regressive; most racing over shorter and didn't achieve much in two previous tries over 1m4f; pulled hard in first-time cheekpieces (removed) last time and has it to prove for a yard also responsible for The Charmer.
