Form & Verdict
Big run behind subsequent Group-placed filly on debut (7.3f, Ffos Las) and the idiosyncrasies of Epsom may have been too much for him at this stage of his career last time (7f); easy to see him bouncing back upped to 1m; yard having good spell.

Versatile tactically; his only two wins were in 2023 but this highly reliable handicapper has been runner-up in six of his seven races since, including in useful company and also over 2m when he wore cheekpieces on last three occasions (hung right and lost out to a rallying rival last time); now tries blinkers and has each-way claims from low draw.

Sound efforts at Newmarket (1m6f) and Chelmsford (2m, AW) this season, taking handicap record to 12122422; the cheekpieces worn last time are retained; up another 2lb but again looks a solid contender.
