Form & Verdict
Won a Yarmouth maiden (1m, good) a year ago and, having been off for ten months, made an encouraging return/handicap debut when fourth of eight at Newmarket (1m, good to firm) in July; hasn't built on it in two starts since, though, and needs to resume his progress.

Winless since August 2024 but he's hinted at promise of late, set plenty to do (also slipped on bend) when seventh of 12 in 7f Thirsk handicap two weeks ago; needs considering off a falling mark.

Hasn't won for nearly two years but he's well handicapped now and he shaped much better than the result suggests when seventh of ten at Haydock (7f, good; badly hampered over 1f out) last Saturday; should go close if getting the rub of the green this time.

He should be winning races off this mark and his down-the-field effort at Doncaster six weeks ago isn't the race to judge him on; better can be expected back up at 7f.

Form & Verdict
Both wins at Yarmouth, the latest when beating three rivals in a handicap (1m, good to firm) in June; fourth in both starts since, not enjoying the smoothest of trips on either occasion; favoured by the race conditions, but not sure the return to 7f is in his favour.

Progressive against his own age group, winning two of his first three starts (1m, soft/about 7f, good) before having a troubled run in the Britannia at Royal Ascot; however, he wasn't the same horse at Newmarket in July and an easy 7f may be a bare minimum for him.

Began his 3yo campaign with a BHA mark of 93; a lot of water has flowed under the bridge since but he has bounced back to form for Adam Kirby, finishing second at Chelmsford in March (7f) before an easy win at Yarmouth ten days ago (6f, good to firm); 3lb well in under a penalty; obvious chance.
