Form & Verdict
Record in first five starts after the tongue-tie was fitted last August reads 12113 (including a win over C&D), but he ran poorly when a well-beaten last of nine on his Brighton return (7f, good) in April; return to this trip should help, but that latest effort still leaves him with something to prove.

Career win number ten at Yarmouth last month (6f, good) and the first-time visor tried there was replaced by cheekpieces when fourth at Bath; with the visor back on he's entitled to have some say.

All of his turf wins have been on good or quicker and he secured his tenth career success when scoring at Yarmouth (6f) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher and he's a big player again if he gets a good tow into this race; visor worn last time is removed and cheekpieces return.

Won off way higher marks in the past and ran respectably to be third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last time; first-time visor joins his regular tongue-tie (usually wears cheekpieces) and he's down to a career-low mark; has run well here before and he's respected.

Four of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; drew a blank in 2025 but retains ability and he has run some solid races in defeat this year too, keeping on for fourth at Beverley 18 days ago; drops in class but he has the widest stall to contend with.

Form & Verdict
Having dropped back to his last winning mark he looked to be on the way back when second of 15 at Ripon (6f, soft) in April, but didn't build on it at Thirsk (6f, soft) a month ago; no problem with the likely faster ground, but he does need to bounce back.

Doubled his winning tally at Wolverhampton handicap (7f, AW) last November and made a fair return when fourth of ten at Catterick (7f, good to soft) in April, but only beat one home in a big field at York (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; needs to prove he still has the speed for this trip.

Not at his best in his last four starts, though soft ground would have been no good to him at Chester (7f) last time; 3lb lower than when winning at Catterick (6f, good to firm) last summer so capable of playing a part if bouncing back under these more suitable conditions.

Seven of his nine wins have come at Ripon, but he has run well here; the switch to blinkers seemed to galvanise him when fourth of eight at his favoured venue (6f, soft) three weeks ago and he could play a part if building on that; 2lb below his last winning mark.
