A fair 5f winner in 2025 but yet to fire this season, tenth of 12 in 6f Hamilton handicap 16 days ago; needs to take a big step forward.

Course winner last June off a 10lb higher mark than today's, but he's been struggling in recent starts and hasn't won over 6f since August 2022; best watched at present.

Fine servant down the years but he hasn't won over 6f since August 2022; on a good mark and can pop up soon but would like to see more from him before getting involved.

Form: 219-64 D

Last run: 91 days

W: 9st 5lb

4 yo Gelding

OR: 89

Form & Verdict
Seemed suited by the drop to 6f when winning impressively at Ascot (good; 2-1 favourite) last autumn; hasn't repeated the form, however, fading when fourth of eight over the same C&D last time; now returns from three months off in a visor/after wind surgery, and he'll be dangerous if revitalised.

Form & Verdict
Looked a sprinter going places with back-to-back 6f successes at Windsor (good to firm) in May and Doncaster (good; hooded) in June, but well held twice at Ascot since, tailed off (no headgear; 15-8 favourite) on latest; this race is less competitive and he may well bounce back.
