Went close over C&D last week in a race he won two years earlier; now 3lb higher and they claimed 5lb last time, so may need more.

9st 11lb

J: Shay Farmer

T: Seb Spencer

He was 4lb lower when beating Strike to take this race in 2024; could only finish fifth last year but he took advantage of a reduced mark to score at Redcar (6f, good to firm; First Folio fourth) 17 days ago; back up 5lb but he should be thereabouts.

Conditions to suit and he ran his best race of the year when third over C&D in May; beaten twice since but he is being given a chance by the handicapper.

Last two wins have come over 6f at Redcar and he returned to form when third over that C&D last month; however, this is warmer and he has been unplaced on all four of his starts at York.
