Last run was too bad to be true and had made a positive start for this yard, and he's closely matched with Dr Ali; possibilities. |

On a long losing sequence but he has started life well for John Mackie on last two outings, fourth of 12 in 5f Catterick handicap ten days ago; very much one to consider off the same mark with cheekpieces refitted. |

Finished second in this race in 2023 (soft) and 2024 (heavy); good second at Wolverhampton on his stable debut (6f) two weeks ago; well drawn back on turf but his 18 turf runs have seen him steer clear of anything faster than good to soft. |

In fine form this term, scoring at Thirsk in April and twice in the frame off a 5lb higher mark since, fourth of 12 at Catterick (5f) 26 days ago; he merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark with this return to 6f a plus. |

1st Jun 2024 Good To Soft 0m 5f 1y Class 6 |
9st 0lb |
Just 3-48, but his second of eight at Catterick (5f, soft) on his penultimate start shows that he remains capable of a good effort; frame claims if the ground remains testing despite being just out of the weights and drawn low. |

5th 7 (7) |
17th May 2024 Good 0m 5f 7y Class 6 |

3-47 career; reeled in late over C&D (good to soft) last September, and arrives off the back of a respectable effort at Catterick (5f, soft; runner-up, with a couple of these behind); there are reasons to be optimistic, so he could feasibly have a say. |

Consistent over 5f-6f during summer but yet to win this year and form has dipped lately; will find this easier than latest task and won't mind if the ground softens but younger rivals have more appealing profiles. |

1st Jul 2024 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 4lb |
Back on song with narrow win at Lingfield (7f, good to firm) last month but he failed to back that up at Chepstow (6f, good to soft) two weeks ago; this triple C&D winner now goes back up in trip but he's a mercurial type who needs to bounce back again. |

Back on song with narrow win in 15-runner Lingfield handicap (7f, good to firm) last week, his sixth career success; not one to rely upon heavily but remains well handicapped on form as recent as the winter and can cope with today's drop back in trip. |

Dropped right out on his sole course run, in May, but comes into it on his best turf form and also some AW handicap runs over the winter; capable of a big run at this easier level. |

Former sprinter who's not as good now and has become inconsistent; no problem with an easy, turning 7f when winning on turf in August but this is the first time he's been 1m and his stamina will be tested over a straight course. |
