Form & Verdict
Ran respectably on five of six starts leading up to his clearcut win at Leicester (1m, good to firm) on Thursday, which broke a long losing sequence; while a turnaround this quick always asks a question, he did complete a double with two-day break in 2020 and this is a small field.

J: Kieran O’Neill

T: Darryll Holland

Recorded his 12th AW win when scoring at Wolverhampton (8.6f) last month but he flopped under a penalty there eight days later; has bit to prove again after that heavy defeat but he has won three of his last seven starts and is capable of bouncing back.

Beat a serial loser of late over C&D three weeks ago, taking Hector Crouch's record on him to 2-2; 4lb rise is of no great concern considering he's been rated much higher in the past; handy draw.

Nine of his 12 wins have been on AW, the latest from 5lb higher at Chelmsford (1m, Polytrack) in March; not beaten far into fourth of 13 at Brighton (1m, soft) last month and he has to be of interest in this field.

Three wins (1m) in 2024 but he's been well held in last ten starts including when fourth behind Desiderata at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) last month; that wasn't bad but he needs to raise his game back in a handicap.
