Form & Verdict
Won twice over 7f on turf/Tapeta for Scott Dixon in 2022, but has only made the track only three times since October of that year and has struggled in all of those runs; mark continues to fall but he needs a major revival with tongue-tie reapplied.

Form & Verdict
Ended a 14-race losing run over C&D in January; lost his way again in next four starts but he got back on track with a clear second behind Port Noir over C&D last Monday; meets his old rival on 4lb better terms here and has claims if he can repeat that latest form.

His form can be up and down and he failed to shine at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last time; however, prior to that he was a promising fourth on his reappearance there (7f, AW), and he won off this mark at Chepstow (7f, good) last May; capable if bouncing back to form.
