Handy sort who was off for 14 months before returning for this yard in October; third of 11 when stepped up in trip at Southwell (1m4f, Tapeta; first-time cheekpieces) 11 days ago, but this will test his stamina further.

His debut win at Kempton in late 2021 worked out well; market drifter when well beaten in a Sandown novice on his return from a long absence but was far more competitive in a 1m2f handicap at Newmarket last month; tongue-tie tried there is now absent but has to be of interest.

Kempton winner in late 2021, the form of which worked out well; however, was not seen again until two months ago when unable to cope with some useful 3yos in a decent novice; had been gelded (also had wind surgery) prior to that and he was a market drifter; big ask to bounce back under top weight in this useful handicap.
