Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the seventh attempt when justifying favouritism at Lingfield (1m2f, good to firm) last month and he had an excuse when stepped back up to 1m4f at Ripon (took strong hold) last time; could resume his progress on this drop back in trip and he ran well on soft ground in the spring.

All four wins at around this trip including one here (soft) in the summer of 2023; looked unlucky when beaten a head in this race off 3lb lower on his reappearance a year ago; won't mind what the weather does, but stall 14 isn't ideal.
