Form & Verdict
Gained both wins over 1m4f on good ground at Ripon last summer; probably not suited by the soft ground when making low-key seasonal return last month; current mark is workable if that outing did him good.

Handles most surfaces and his eight wins include two here, latterly over 2m in 2024; last scored at Catterick (1m4f) off 3lb higher in October and after some lesser efforts this season he was much more competitive when third back there (1m6f) a fortnight ago; contender to step forward again and he's considered.

Strong finish from rear secured the Chester Plate (2m2f, good) last May off 3lb higher and he also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his four efforts this season a long way behind him, however.

Form & Verdict
Won this race a year ago and needed only to be pushed out to score off 3lb lower over C&D (good) at start of this month; raced too freely and was disappointing favourite at Hamilton on Wednesday but has strong claims if all goes to plan here.
