Four-time winner, most recently in November 2024 at Newmarket (1m1f, good) off a 14lb higher mark than today's; has attracted support since joining this yard and was a close third in a classified event at Wolverhampton 65 days ago; steps back into handicaps with claims.

C&D winner who has returned to form with a comfortable success here (9.4f) and a close second at Brighton (1m2f) in his last two runs; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's a key player on this step back up to 1m4f.

Added to his three wins in Germany when scoring at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) in December and he had some traffic issues there in January on his last run; now drops back in trip but he travelled smoothly for a long way last time and could be a big factor if he gets some luck.
