Creditable second at Southwell (1m4f) in September but has failed to repeat the form in two outings over the same C&D since; defied a 2lb higher mark at Kempton in 2024 and receives weight all round in this field, so has possibilities if taking well to first-time headgear.

Three-time winner with form at this track; not far off his best RPR when second in a small field at Ascot (1m4f) and a steady pace was no good for his patient tactics when behind Great Bedwyn and Mrs Twig at Kempton two weeks ago; fair shout should this pan out more favourably.
