Underwhelming on his three starts since promising reappearance run at Doncaster in March; however, he has a strong record at Hamilton and is running here for the first time this season; slow ground would be a positive.

Multiple sprint handicap wins since 2022, all on soft or slower; back in action with a good fourth of 17 at Doncaster in March and, although he hasn't done as well since, he'd come into it if there's significant rain.

Won first two 5f handicaps, in April and May (soft and good to soft), including over C&D; hasn't had a great second half of the year, however, and after running better than the bare result at Ayr last month he was well adrift at Catterick since; could still go well if the mood takes.

Equally effective over 6f-7f, even though both career wins have come over today's 5f trip (Class 6); lost his way after finishing in the frame in a selling handicap at Hamilton in July, but his latest Ayr effort (ninth of 20; first-time visor) was more encouraging; 2lb above last winning mark.

Sole win (from 24 attempts) came back in March 2021 and this summer's turf form for Iain Jardine has been patchy; however, she's on a competitive mark judged on C&D exploits earlier this year and the return to this course for her stable debut could be a positive; not ruled out.
