Form & Verdict
Turf winner in 2021; knocking at the door on AW, including twice runner-up over C&D around the turn of the year; likely found the run coming too soon after only two days off when below-form fifth of six here latest; capable of bouncing back.

Last win came off this mark on AW in January; creditable third over C&D (good to firm) on the return to turf, then spoiled chance with an awkward start when beaten favourite at Newmarket later in June; has a fighting chance granted a clean break.

Hasn't coming close to justifying a prominent market position on both handicap runs but a slow start left him poorly positioned in a steadily run contest at Wolverhampton last time and he retains potential as a lightly raced type in good hands.
