Three AW wins, the most recent off 7lb higher over C&D in August 2024; inconsistent since but is attractively treated and Jack Callan takes off a bonus 5lb; good chance if back to form.

Form & Verdict
Justified favouritism in Class 6 event at Newcastle (2m; solid form for the grade) this month, belatedly adding to his 2021 French win; ties in with Two Past Eight on C&D running in February (looked a shade unlucky); one for the shortlist.
