4 yo Colt

OR: 60

Form & Verdict
Low-mileage 4yo; resumed from six months off with an excellent second of eight in 6f Kempton handicap eight days ago, travelling strongly long way but collared late on; he'll prove at least as effective over this shorter trip and rates a big player off same mark (due to go up 2lb in future).

Below best on his last three starts but his recent Newmarket sixth was a step back in the right direction; made it 2-2 here when winning over C&D (good) in June and well worth a second look now back here.

Returns to rather calmer waters after coming up well short in bigger fields at York last month; in particularly good form in June, winning at Pontefract then placed twice over C&D; could go well.

Form & Verdict
Already a dual 5f AW scorer in 2023 and he posted another good effort back on turf when third of ten in 5f Catterick handicap 15 days ago, faring best of those who came to the stand side; he's well in the mix.

Good run of form came to an end when down the field at Wolverhampton 12 days ago; his most recent run at this track saw him finish a good second though and he has dropped to a career-low mark.

Yet to win in 11 starts for this yard but he has been much more competitive since dropping into Class 6 events; repeat of his recent efforts would see him involved but he is one of a number in the field who like to be on the sharp end.

Now 9lb lower than when winning here (5.2f, good to firm) last summer but has been out of form this year and needs today's change of headgear to perk him up (usually wears cheekpieces).

9lb lower than when gaining his second course success here (5f, good to firm) last summer, but little sign of taking advantage of his reduced mark lately; failed to beat a rival back here (5f, good to firm) three weeks ago and switch to blinkers from cheekpieces needs to make a big difference.

Showed little on the AW since returning in January (underwent wind surgery before latest outing) but both turf wins have come over C&D (good to firm); 5lb below his latest winning mark and worth a second look; stable triple-handed.
