In and out this season, only fifth of sixth at Chelmsford three weeks ago, but his good record at Newcastle (one win and five seconds from seven attempts) suggests he could be revitalised by a return to this C&D; last win came under Oliver Stammers and he's now 14lb lower.

Won twice over C&D in late 2025, the latter success coming off a 2lb higher mark; more recent efforts need bettering but this is likely to be run to suit and dropping back into a 0-60 could see her bounce back to form.
