Form & Verdict
Needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort three weeks ago but has generally been very consistent in recent months, and is now back on the same mark as for narrow win at Musselburgh (7f, good) in June; very well suited by this C&D; might be the answer.

1-17 here, the win coming off this mark over this trip in June last year; some fair efforts on turf this season and 1m2f would have been too far on his return to this venue a fortnight ago, but others are still more solid; stable also runs Wheres The Crumpet.

Course winner (1m, June 2023); consistent over 7f-1m1f lately, shaping as if in need of a greater stamina test when third over 7f at Catterick (soft); head carriage isn't always alluring, but he is worth another go over 1m2f; stablemate of Wheres The Crumpet.

Battled well to cause 80-1 surprise in 7f Wolverhampton handicap in August and has since been placed in Catterick classified over this trip; subsequent defeat in soft-ground Class 5 handicap is not viewed harshly and he's more appealing than some of these.
