Only got to the track twice last season, winning a 5f handicap on heavy ground here; not seen for over 18 months when well beaten here two weeks ago; 1lb below his last winning mark if that run can be ignored but has clearly had his problems.

Was a smart juvenile but became regressive and didn't win a race until early last year, scoring over 5f on heavy at this track; has to repeat that after a long absence.

prominent towards far side, pushed along and went second over 1f out, led when ridden but faced challenge inside final furlong, kept on well towards finish, always doing enough

Very little form of note on both AW and turf since December return; hard to fancy.

Very weak form (turf/AW) since last July; sole turf win was in a 5f maiden in 2022; not an obvious contender.
