Made all for a comfortable success over 1m2f here (good to firm) 15 days ago but that was a Class 4 and he was found out in a Class 3 at Sandown next time; this looks tougher again.

Three-time winner at 1m2f (good to firm) although that was back in 2022/23 and his last success came over 1m6f at Sandown in July; tailed off on final start last term and two runs (1m4f) this season contained little encouragement.

Hasn't won on turf since 2019; down the field when confined to only two starts last year and was again well beneath his best on his recent return at York (1m4f); very opposable at the minute.

Strike-rate of 2-9 and has been hit and miss; however, had one of his good days when going down narrowly at Kempton (1m4f AW) and a stronger pace would have helped him that day; has still to win since being gelded but it's looking a matter of time before he puts that right.

Won twice over about 1m4f (AW/good to firm) last spring and he's thrown in judged on that form; twice close up on AW in January and a respectable third at Bath (2m) in April, before Ascot 2m race last week proved too tough; there's a rethink on trip today and cheekpieces (last used in June 2024) return.

Triple turf winner who finished well to go close off this mark at Kempton (2m, AW) in January; flopped with a heavy defeat at Newcastle the following month but that was a Class 3 and has claims if he can bounce back after a short break; has form on good to firm and good to soft.

Form & Verdict
Maiden winner who followed up in a modest 1m2f good-ground handicap at Ripon before coming up shy in his hat-trick bid at Beverley; too early to suggest the handicapper has his measure and returning to further is probably no bad thing; lacking a run might be.

The ground was soft when winning narrowly at Chester in May but good to firm when a tad unlucky not to have gone close at Redcar (1m2f), and the winner wasn't disgraced in a Group 3 at Royal Ascot; likeably consistent and makes plenty of appeal.
