Form & Verdict
Has dropped a fair way in the weights and only just lost out here (8.5f, good to firm) on his penultimate outing; again ran with credit when third of eight at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last time, but losing run now stands at 25 and stamina concerns over this trip on a stiff track.

Ran his best race on the AW at the fourth attempt when fourth of 12 at Wolverhampton (9.5f, Tapeta) last time; has only managed to win one of his last 31 starts, but that did come off this mark under Becky Smith (record aboard him reads 1326) at Beverley (1m2f, good to firm) last summer; each-way claims at least.

Three 1m2f wins in 2021 (including two on Polytrack) but he's now 0-19 since his last success and has been tailed off at Newcastle in his last two runs; cheekpieces didn't work last time and has plenty to prove with blinkers now tried.

Three 1m2f wins in 2021 including two at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack), but has gone 18 starts without success since; ran poorly over C&D 12 days ago and the application of cheekpieces will need to make a big difference.
