Seven-time Tapeta winner who sits 12lb below his last winning mark (dead-heat over 1m2f at Newcastle in February 2022); out of sorts lately, with hopes seemingly pinned on the change of scenery - a first ever visit to Southwell - and a drop back to 1m working the oracle.

He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his C&D win last month; followed up at Wolverhampton (extended 1m) three days later and he went very close in his hat-trick bid back at Wolverhampton last week; due to be 2lb higher from the weekend and another good run looks on the cards.

Form & Verdict
Galloped on determinedly to make a winning C&D handicap debut (beating Covert Mission by half a length with Masqool a further short head back in third) a fortnight ago; sits 3lb higher - 2lb worse off with both of those rivals - but could well have more improvement in him.

Two wins on Tapeta, the handicap off only 2lb lower (1m); only subsequent blip came two runs back in first-time blinkers (retained) at Newmarket and he soon steadied the ship at Southwell; unlikely to be far away.

4yo with a record of 2-7; won on Tapeta in two of his first three starts and he resumed his progress when runner-up at Sandown (1m, good to soft) last month; on same mark here but he was disappointing in blinkers at Newmarket (5-2 favourite) last time and needs to bounce back after that.

Sole win came over 6f in August 2020; ran reasonably well on return from a 102-day absence when staying on from off the pace to finish sixth of 14 to Southwold over C&D a fortnight ago; has some work to do but isn't without a chance on 5lb better terms (dropped 2lb).

Very respectable 12-76 record for one who plies his trade in this sort of grade; vast majority of those wins came on AW but he can do it on turf and latest third over C&D (good to firm), while beaten a fair way, wasn't a bad effort; has dropped back down to his career-low mark.
