Form & Verdict
Won three times on turf last summer, the latest over C&D (good to firm); has won on soft ground and this mark didn't look beyond him when a close third of ten at Leicester (5f, good) in October, but he hasn't been seen since and has no great record fresh.

Returns to turf after three modest efforts on the AW and was running well on soft ground in the autumn, but he is just 1-23; tongue-tie missing on this return from four months off and others make more appeal.

Losing run up to 14, but he nearly ended the drought on his Doncaster return (5f, soft) 13 days ago, just getting caught after attempting to make all; 2lb higher, but he doesn't have to lead and a major player if stepping forward from that effort.

Acts on good to firm and soft; his last win was in April 2024 but he was much better than this level in his time and he ran several good races at Brighton (5.3f) last season; returns after 235 days off but he needs a close look for in-form yard.
