Form & Verdict
Absent for 503 days after winning his maiden for Charlie Appleby; made a successful start for this yard in a 1m4f novice on Tapeta and didn't run badly next time in a strong C&D handicap, which was his best form to date; never involved over 1m6f at Newmarket 17 days ago but this looks more suitable.

Strong form when runner-up at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in May 2024; lightly raced since and unable to get competitive, most recently in Newmarket handicap (1m1f, good); it's possible he'll still be the main threat to Empirestateofmind, however; wears a first-time visor.

Multiple winner who arrives in form, his success at Wolverhampton (Tapeta) in January followed by solid third at Kempton (also about 2m, Polytrack) a fortnight later; ran well for second over extended 2m2f here three weeks ago and just as effective over this shorter trip; warrants respect.

Narrow winner over C&D last month but never threatened to follow up at Windsor, taking turf score to 0-10; returning to this scene has to rate a positive but he looks vulnerable to improvers.

Hasn't had much go right in his last two starts and is best known for his Polytrack exploits, as when successful off 4lb higher at Kempton (1m3f) in April; finished second of 14 over this C&D as a 3yo, though, so certainly one to be interested in.

His Flat four-timer in 2017 culminated in a success over C&D; won four times over hurdles in 2021/22, but his efforts under both codes since the start of last year, including three outings for this yard, don't suggest the veteran will be winning this.
