Form & Verdict
He's without a win since summer 2021 but has edged down the weights and reappeared with a solid third at Redcar (1m, soft) in April; this course winner is versatile ground-wise and could be in the mix off his static mark.

9yo who went 0-10 last year but he's well handicapped on the pick of last season's efforts, which came in the spring, and his Doncaster form-figures of 1413 catch the eye on his first visit here since 2023; interesting.
