Spent last year in the grip of the handicapper after seven wins in 2024; more leniently treated now and ran respectably when sixth of 28 in the 7f Victoria Cup at Ascot; seemed unsuited by drop back to 5f next time; this intermediate trip is probably ideal these days and he commands respect.

Nine course wins to his name from 22 starts here (3-7 over C&D); in good form of late, having spent last year in the grip of the handicapper, but that was over 7f and whether he still has the toe for 5f, at his age off this mark, is the question; yard also runs Woohoo.

Trouble in running on both AW starts last month and same story at Pontefract last time, in the circumstances doing well to finish eighth of 13 from 4lb out of the handicap; he has a good record at Pontefract but could play a leading role off his proper mark today if getting the breaks.
