Form & Verdict
RPR of 86 for April maiden win over C&D and has run to a figure between 85-89 in five subsequent starts; finished just over 3l behind Bear Profit over track and trip latest but a stronger pace here could see him bridge the gap; cheekpieces the headgear of choice.

Downhill trend in 2022 and weak finishes the last twice raise alarm bells; more severe headgear (blinkers replace cheekpieces) needs to focus him.

Two visits to Chelmsford have yielded two wins, on debut over 5f and last time out over 6f; was all out 39 days ago so 5lb rise looked harsh at first glance but the runner-up has improved since and they were 3l clear of Open Mind; can go well from stall 2.

Plenty of C&D form in big fields, notably wins on good to soft in 2023 and July 2025; while not so striking as Leadman, he didn't have the best of runs when fifth of 22 over C&D eight days ago, so might step up a bit today.

He finished down the field in this race 12 months ago but he has had the benefit of a run this time around and a promising effort it was too, shuffled back at a crucial stage but keeping on close home (7f, good to soft); his record at York suggests one eye may be on next month's Dante meeting but he's more than capable off this mark.
