Six-time Polytrack winner who won a classified event at Lingfield (6f, Polytrack) in January but he's not easy to predict and didn't fire back in a handicap at Lingfield last time; needs to step up again after that and a wide draw is no help.

Went close at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last month on his second run after a lengthy absence but he's not been in the same form in his last two runs; goes back up in trip but his record now stands at 1-19 and others are more persuasive; visor removed.

Won on turf in 2021 (5f, good to firm) and good third on AW last month (6f); however, it's a long time since he's run well on turf and was down the field at Hamilton (6f, good) a fortnight ago; something to prove.

Form & Verdict
Six sprint wins, including on Dundalk Polytrack; is on a losing run but he was prominent in the market when only narrowly denied in a classified event at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) ten days ago; on unchanged mark back in a handicap and he's a big player if he can repeat that latest form.

His last success was on turf (5f, good to firm) in August 2021, but he's now 30lb lower than for that win and travelled strongly for a long way when a fair fourth at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) 11 days ago; again ran well when runner-up at Wolverhampton (5f, Tapeta) yesterday and could be bang there.

He has tumbled down the weights but he was disappointing when well backed at Wolverhampton (7f) on his penultimate run and couldn't a pose a threat at Lingfield (5f) last Saturday; this return to 6f could suit but he's now 1-18 and needs to find some extra spark.
