Form & Verdict
Has reacted positively to the refitting of a hood, making all to win by wide margins at Southwell (2m, good) and in a conditional jockeys race on Sunday at Warwick (2m, soft); escapes a penalty for that success so obvious chance of going in again if this doesn't come too soon and the extra distance doesn't hinder.

Long breaks are a feature in his profile and he was returning from another when prevailing narrowly at Stratford two months ago (2m2f, good); if as good again off 4lb higher he'll be thereabouts.

Made light of an absence when scoring at Sedgefield (2m1f) in January 2025 and backed it up with a very good second of five at Plumpton (2m4f) the following month; returns from 13 months off here but can't be ruled out with yard going well.

Winner of two of his last four starts; career-high mark when creditable third over 3m at Musselburgh (soft) last month; has won over 2m so this shorter trip shouldn't be a problem; up another 2lb, however.

Longstanding maiden who was soundly beaten at Newcastle last time in a first-time hood (retained); however, he's run pretty well on both previous visits to Musselburgh and the tongue-tie is back on today, which he wore when a fair fourth over C&D (good to soft) in November; interesting contender.
