Has form under these conditions but it's well over a year since he produced an effort of note.

Won twice last season for his former yard on soft-heavy so was disappointing he didn't show more back on his favoured ground latest; dropped 5lb for that effort; new blinkers need to revive.

J: Adam Browne-Souza

Back-to-back wins in 2024 including over C&D on soft; well beaten both 2025 starts but is now 3lb below last winning mark and the rain has come so can't be ruled out.
