Seven-time AW winner for Darryll Holland, notably of a 7f handicap at Southwell in March 2025 when 5lb higher; well beaten in three runs for Jim Boyle and, although the last two were on turf, enough to prove even back on AW.

Not totally solid on last year's 7f novice form as best effort may not be reliable form; however, still looks a possible improver now handicapping over a new trip; market support should be heeded.
