J: Oisin Murphy

T: George Baker

His only win (17 races) came in April 2023 at Windsor; can race freely and makes his first start in seven months; has raced on AW only twice and has the assistance of Oisin Murphy for the first time; difficult to gauge but any market move should be noted.

Both wins were AW but best turf results were on soft/heavy; latest start (following two good AW runs) wasn't one of them, and that was also on soft, but he's been second and first in his two races under Frederick Tett.

Has done well in recent weeks, winning and finishing runner-up on the Polytrack at Lingfield (2m); feasibly weighted - 3lb above last winning mark - and, while he's yet to score on turf (0-6), he has shown he acts on soft and heavy ground; plenty of positives.

Well backed prior to running out the easy winner of a C&D handicap for amateur riders 18 days ago; enjoyed the run of things there but the handicapper could have taken a dimmer view of the win; fair chance up just 3lb.

Nothing wrong with his first two efforts in handicaps last summer, bumping into a sharp improver before a narrow defeat, but then levelled off; has since been gelded and needs more back from seven months off.

1m4f winner when trained in France; it's been tough going for this yard but there was much more promise when a keeping-on sixth over the extended 1m at Wolverhampton 19 days ago; going back up in distance can help and this drop into 0-55 company also likely to be beneficial; check betting.

Soft-ground 1m5f French maiden winner as a 3yo who hasn't run on the Flat in almost two years; poor effort over hurdles recently and on that evidence it's hard to believe he's still up to this sort of mark.
