Ended winless 2025 campaign with a placed effort in an above-average seller; starts his 2026 season off 8lb below his last winning mark but chance partly depends on the weather as he's best on ground softer than good.

All five wins have been on good or slower including over C&D; hasn't been at his best this season but there have been some respectable efforts and he didn't get the breaks in a hot seller at Chester (5l third of eighth) 12 days ago; continues to drop down the weights and he could be dangerous back in a handicap.

Both wins have been at 7f but he needed all of that trip at the Curragh (good) a month ago to be ahead when it mattered; it's debatable whether he's got enough boot under the bonnet to win this much deeper race; best form on good or yielding (below par on softer).
