The odd sign of spark last season and he may have needed his recent comeback run; down to a dangerous mark but this 7yo has been regressive and is winless since July 2024; cheekpieces return for first time since last May.

Comes alive at Pontefract and was gaining his fifth course win from seven goes when gamely scoring over 1m4f in June; not disgraced at Haydock last time; stays 2m and will probably see out this slightly longer distance; seems equally effective on good to firm and good to soft; solid contender.

Only two runs this season, winning on reappearance at Thirsk (1m4f, good to soft) in July before a solid third off this 4lb higher mark at Pontefract (1m4f, good) 16 days ago; has two wins over 1m6f to his credit so reverting to the longer trip is a positive; player.
