Looked promising early in his career but had a spell in the doldrums before Sean Curran got hold of him; made a good start for this yard when fourth at Lingfield in February and he's won his next three starts, two of them over C&D; strong at the finish here two weeks ago and he's only 2lb higher; Billy Loughnane booked and there is a lot to like.

Has form on all surfaces; won this in 2021 and 2023, and finished a close second in 2022, but he was well beaten when favourite here 12 months ago and his form has been quite mixed this year; he's a possible reviver back in this race but he hasn't justified shortish prices on last two starts, including over C&D, which leaves questions to answer.
