No win since 2021 but has good recent form, having been placed at Kempton in three of his last four races (7f/1m; the hood worn each time is now removed); thereabouts provided he continues in similar vein.

Off the track for 381 days prior to his return in October and he's run two good races and two lesser ones since reappearing; the two good efforts have both come at this track, latterly over 1m 25 days ago; looks a key player back at 7f with Rossa Ryan retaining the ride.

Can take a strong hold but he settled better with hood added when runner-up in a Class 2 at Kempton (7f, Polytrack) last month; looks interesting if he can back that up off only 1lb higher here and he's still unexposed on AW.

He has plenty of ability but a refusal to settle is threatening to hold him back; heavily backed at Wolverhampton ten days ago on his return from a year off (wind surgery during his absence) but was again too free and didn't look entirely straightforward either; better than that and the addition of a hood looks a good move; interesting to see if his supporters return.
