Sole win from 17 Flat starts came over 6f in 2022; that was modest form and she lost it on last three outings this year; failed to show she stays even 1m in that discipline.

Form & Verdict
Both wins at 6f on good to soft, most recently here in September (first-time cheekpieces, retained since); perhaps the headgear didn't work as well at Pontefract next time as he was out the back; questioned for now.

Has given sterling service over the years; had seemed unplaceable off lowly marks in 2022 but was having his first run on soft for 12 months when dashing home to lead near the line at Nottingham 13 days ago; C&D winner who is quite likely to go well again under similar conditions.
