Made all over 6f at Catterick in October; raced over further of late, bumping into a sharp improver two starts ago and again bang there at Catterick on Monday (7f, good); should give it a good shot back at 6f.

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.

Both wins on turf (6f, good to soft) last year and has run creditably a few times over C&D this season; last two efforts have been modest but he drops to this level for the first time and could go well if rediscovering his best form.

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.
