Beaten on his last 13 starts going back to last May but he's been a good second on two of his last three starts, most recently in a big field at York (1m4f, good) this month; every chance he'll again be bang there.

Won this (good to firm) on return last year by a neck off 4lb higher than today; subsequent efforts have never quite lived up to that, albeit runner-up on Kempton AW last September and this March; first 1m2f run for ages when disappointing on latest start; could bounce back with each-way claims.

Had dropped 3lb below his last winning mark when second of nine behind course-specialist Whitcombe Rockstar at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) last month, his first start in 75 days; races off the same mark, but he hasn't tackled a trip this short in three years; stable runs three.

Form & Verdict
Won a 7f Kempton AW novice in October 2022; down the weights when winning 11-runner race at York (1m4f, good to soft) last Friday, having a troubled passage before leading on the line; that was an apprentice race, so he can race off the same mark today (due to go up 3lb) and has to make appeal.

Mostly creditable efforts in defeat this season, including second of nine at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) last month; below-par sixth in this race on heavy ground last year; William Buick up but others arrive with more pressing claims.

Form & Verdict
Progressive in three starts on the Kempton AW late last year, narrowly winning a maiden (1m3f); contesting turf handicaps this term, dropped in class when second of seven at Goodwood (1m4f, good) last time; while that was his best form, he also looked a tricky customer by hanging and wandering in the closing stages; capable, but rather mixed messages.

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.

Recorded a four-timer in small-field events over 1m4f/1m3f on Tapeta for Barry Brennan between January and March, once the visor went on; has had only four races on turf, including on last three outings (last two for Tom Dascombe) and those performances do not look good enough.

Won four in a row on Tapeta for Barry Brennan in early part of this year (two at this track); has run with credit on turf since for Tom Dascombe in June/July and his current trainer; returns to AW following a break and has been gelded; any market move should be noted.
