Form & Verdict
Yet to strike form after five runs this season but last month's keeping-on fifth at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) was a step back in the right direction and he's now 2lb below the mark off which he won here (7f, good) last summer.

Ended a 14-race losing run in a 0-50 classified event over C&D last month (fourth course win) and ran just as well when second of ten in a handicap (clear of the third) over the same trip back here last time; the winner is 3-3 since so a 4lb rise may not prevent another big run.

No win since June 2022 (that was over C&D) but runner-up on four occasions, including when beaten by a nose here (7.5f) in July; recent Catterick form ties in closely with Elettaria and perhaps the newly applied visor can assist; no back number.
