Form & Verdict
Course win in July 2021 (1m6f, good to soft) remains his last success; out of sorts in 2023 but a consequence of that is he's starting out for a new yard off a lowly mark; needs a market check.

Held off his revised mark since an AW win late last year; not a bad effort back from a break returned to turf at Chester (1m4f; good record first time out in his younger years) last time and this is less competitive.

Ended 2025 with emphatic AW win at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) and came second on both AW starts in January (1m2f/9.4f); absent since lesser effort in February and not ideally drawn today but has two course wins (including a division of this race in 2024) on his CV; could have a say.

Form & Verdict
Won twice on AW as a 2yo; best turf run came over C&D last May, third of ten having made up a lot of ground in the straight; mixed record since but he's dropped a long way in the weights and he should be sharper with his reappearance behind him.

Dropped 21lb since joining this yard and although there hasn't been a great deal of encouragement in the last eight months, he was more prominent in the betting last time; interesting to see if his backers return.

Record of 1-11 but he's well handicapped on his best form last season and was beaten less than 2l when fifth in a Class 4 at Chester (10.3f, good) last time; hood is now removed but he could be dangerous on this drop back in grade.
