Form & Verdict

Returned to form with a close third at Wolverhampton (9.4f, Tapeta) 11 days ago when back on AW in first-time cheekpieces (retained); has won over C&D and could be bang there off the same mark as last time.

This is his first run since April 2021 and it's a hefty layoff to defy; however, his trainer can ready one after an absence and he was a fair second over hurdles when last seen; not a forlorn hope on his return.

Form & Verdict

Two winter wins on the Wolverhampton Tapeta (7f/8.6f) for new yard and close third there (9.4f) in March; the return to turf may not have suited at Bath last month but he was also well beaten at Wolverhampton two starts ago, so a return to form is required.
