Ran respectably at Ayr last month on belated reappearance, while leaving the impression he'll prove sharper for the outing; won this race off just 2lb lower (on soft) last year and looks interesting back here.

J: Alexandra Egan

His last two wins came in this race in 2022 (soft) and 2023 (heavy), when trained by George Boughey; he may prefer deeper ground than he'll get today but he ran well when third of nine at Pontefract (1m2f, good to soft) three weeks ago and the promising Alexandra Egan removes a useful 7lb; respected.

Some good runs in Bahrain but beaten 17l on his British comeback in the valuable Rosebery at Kempton (1m3f, AW) in March, after which he left George Boughey; best known for his exploits in the mud, which isn't forecast, and probably best watched after 132 days away; stable debut.

Creditable third off 9lb higher over C&D on soft ground (acts on good to firm) last September in his only Epsom race; AW campaign in the winter for new yard did not go at all well until he perked up a bit in February on his last two outings; needs to build on that after his break but he's too well handicapped to be ignored.
