Form & Verdict
In and out this year but he was far from disgraced after being squeezed at the start when sixth of 16 to Vape at Windsor last time; 5lb better off with the winner and dangerous if building on that run, although he's not yet proven on the AW after two attempts.

Consistent since joining John Flint and gained a deserved win for Aidan Keeley in 16-runner race at Windsor (6f; well-backed favourite; made all) two weeks ago; had form on this course for his previous yard and he should be competitive again off 3lb higher.

Mostly well below par since his only success in July 2021 (5f) and a switch to Mark Loughnane's yard before his last two runs has failed to reverse the slide; unplaced on sole AW outing; now thrown in on his best form but carries clear risks.
