Form & Verdict
Dual course winner in spring 2021 and pretty consistent over 7f/1m this season, albeit he managed only fifth when odds-on two starts ago; has been shaping very much as though worth another go beyond 1m, and the return to this track is an obvious plus; likely contender.

Made good headway from a long way off the pace to take second on seasonal debut at Kempton (1m, AW) in June and probably would have preferred a stronger pace to aim at when fourth at Leicester (1m2f, good to soft) last month; may yet have a bigger performance in him, and he's a rare runner here for Newmarket trainer John Butler.
