Not straightforward but he has more ability than his mark and his last two wins have been emphatic ones, latterly a near-5l success over 6f here 19 days ago (heavy; first time accessories); that form has been boosted by the reopposing Diamondsinthesand and a 5lb rise still leaves him lower than when running away with an Epsom handicap last summer (7f, good to soft); 5f asks a different question of him but his stamina will be an asset and they are likely to go hard.

Debut was for William Haggas in 2022 and absent one year afterwards; major steps forward in his first two starts for David O'Meara, notably winning a maiden at Carlisle (7f, good to firm), but bled when tailed off on handicap debut last June; sold for 6,500gns last September and is his first run since, having been withdrawn from an AW claimer in May; fair bit to prove.

Debut was for William Haggas and absent one year afterwards; major steps forward in his two starts since, winning a maiden at Carlisle (7f, good to firm) on latest; plenty of hope for 1m in that display and his pedigree; more to offer moving into handicaps.
