Latest three wins at 6f/7f in early 2023 but he confirmed he's perfectly effective over C&D when running well against a next-time winner in January (first-time visor); another sound effort back over 7f since; solid claims for in-form yard.

Five wins here including two over this trip; one of his better recent efforts when second of 11 in a 0-50 classified event over 1m here (first-time visor) 12 days ago; could go well but a losing run of 21 tempers enthusiasm.
