A bit up and down in his four runs for this yard but he's only 1lb higher than for his win at Wolverhampton (8.6f) and returning to turf is no bad thing.

C&D winner but his last success was almost two years ago; very well treated on old form but he's struggled in last five starts including after wind surgery here (1m good; 22-1) two weeks ago; blinkers are now tried and cheekpieces are removed.

It's now 14 starts since his last success and he beat just one in 1m Southwell handicap when last seen in October; this C&D winner needs a subsequent wind operation to spark a resurgence.

Handles most ground and has been placed in four of his seven handicaps, including a close second at Windsor (1m, good to firm) in June; looks interesting on that form but he failed to back that up at Newmarket last time and that took his record to 0-10; regular visor removed.

Beaten a long way at Leicester three weeks ago on his first run of the season but heavy reappearance defeats have been a recurring theme in his profile; won over C&D (good to soft) on final outing last year and he's also run well here on fast ground; could bounce back with a big run.

Safely held in two turf handicaps last month (1m/1m2f) and now 0-7; might be aided by first-time visor here and the return to Tapeta ought to suit but he's drawn wide and others have more pressing claims.

Seemingly back in good form when second at Nottingham (8.3f, soft) in May but has quickly gone off the boil again since; on a very good mark now but needs combination of refitted cheekpieces and first-time tongue-tie to give him a shove forward.

His last win was in France in 2021 but he's dropped a long way in the weights and showed signs of a revival when third at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) two weeks ago; that was with an eyeshield added and he has claims if he can back that up.
