Form & Verdict
Placed in his first four visits to this track, but finished 5l behind stablemate Kondratiev Wave when dropped to this level for the first time here (7f, good) on Monday; no clear reason why he should turn the form around; visor returns (worn once in the autumn of 2021).

J: Jack Doughty

Steadily on the downgrade now but has been placed in two handicaps here this season (1m/7f) and also ran well in a recent classified race here (7f); suited by fast ground and probably worth another crack at 1m2f; more appealing than some of these.

Had two wins elsewhere since a course win last June; further good runs here back in the spring but returned from 78 days off yesterday (C&D) and, having led for much of the race, trailed in sixth of the eight runners; these classified terms are favourable.

Made the most of the drop in grade when ending a lengthy losing run in a similar contest here (7f, good to firm) on Monday; only had a nose to spare, but still high on the list with the return to this trip no a problem; stable triple-handed.

Won at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and runner-up at Southwell (1m, AW) and Bath (1m, firm) in the spring; still looks on a workable mark but his form nosedived at Brighton last time and he needs to bounce back; one of three runners for Tony Carroll.

In the veteran stage now but the old man's been giving younger legs plenty of trouble this year, dead-heating at Lingfield (7f, AW) in February and placed on another five occasions; still in good heart judged on latest second at Bath (1m, firm) and this dual C&D winner can go well again.
