Has run well in competitive handicaps this summer, notably his third of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) two runs ago; big shout on that form if he can brush off his below-par effort at Newbury.

Ended 2025 with a 7f win at Chelmsford and he has run well in competitive handicaps on turf this summer, most recently finishing third of 18 at York (7f, good to firm) three weeks ago; no obvious reason why he wouldn't make another bold bid.

Form & Verdict
He had been threatening over 7f before breaking his duck upped to 1m here five weeks ago, keeping on well; the runner-up has gone well since and a 2lb rise is manageable; unexposed as a miler.

Sole win was on AW in 2024; well handicapped on his old form but he's been tailed off in two runs for new yard this summer and can only be watched; reapplied visor replaces cheekpieces.

Form & Verdict
13th-time lucky when getting off the mark in a C&D handicap three weeks ago, well backed and finding plenty in the closing stages; up 3lb in a stronger race but he's unexposed as a miler and is still 16lb lower than when making his handicap debut.
