Behind on his only run here (2023); Doncaster last June saw his only turf win since 2021, amidst plenty of AW success admittedly but he was out of form in February when last seen; has a competitive mark but other cases look a bit more solid, particularly as he's drawn wide.

Form & Verdict
Gained the latest of his three wins in a 7f handicap at Newcastle in April 2021; there have been good runs since, notably a second behind a well-handicapped sprinter over 6f here last May, but he has been off since finishing lame over C&D 260 days ago; has gone well fresh in the past and he can't be discounted at this level.
