Four wins in 2024 included this race on good to soft, with the other three on soft; performed near his best only a couple of times last season, which has been followed by gelding and wind operations; also now wears first-time headgear; some warning signals and he's not slipped far in the weights.

Took advantage of a drop in the weights when winning a 0-55 contest by a neck over C&D three weeks ago; 5lb rise puts him on his previous winning mark and although not the easiest of rides, Tom Queally knows him well (2-8 on him); major player.

Just one win from his 21 starts but he's been a creditable third on two of his three starts this season, most recently at Chepstow (7f, good); he's probably fine on good to soft; in the mix if he's on another going day.
