5yo who had several close calls in 2022 and was placed over C&D in his penultimate run last year; still looks feasibly treated but his sole win came in 2020 and regular cheekpieces are missing after 112 days off; others are higher up the list.

Poor strike-rate but one of his two successes came over C&D; creditable effort in a Ripon handicap (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago and a 2lb drop makes him eligible for this grade for the first time; looks highly likely to run a big race.
