He ran well for a close third at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day (7f) but was unable to back it up in a good race at Southwell three weeks ago; other front-runners on show here and he could prove vulnerable again.

Drew a blank in 2022 but his mark edged down as a result and he won quite comfortably over C&D (first run on Tapeta) on his return from a short break 16 days ago; 3lb rise looks more than fair (won off 1lb higher before) and he should make a bold bid to follow up.

His only turf wins came in a Royal Ascot handicap and Newbury Group 3, but they were in 2023 and he needs the cards to drop right for his late bids; scored on AW in January but subsequent form, including when 40-1 in the Victoria Cup last Saturday, isn't good enough.
