Form & Verdict
Drew clear to make winning seasonal/handicap debut at Newmarket (1m2f, good) in May and both subsequent runs were perfectly respectable; did not enjoy run of the race before keeping on well for fourth at Pontefract (1m4f, good to firm) last time and probably still has a bigger performance in him.

No win since May 2024 when trained by Sir Michael Stoute (below form last year for Kevin Ryan) but second of 14 off almost a career-low mark at Musselburgh (1m4f, good; under Zak Wheatley) one month ago was easily his most competitive show since; back up 2lb and needs to build on that revival.
