Form & Verdict
Three 6f course wins; has settled in quickly for latest trainer at 5f, finding plenty to win a shade cosily at Ayr ten days ago, and still has a good mark to exploit despite going back up 4lb; main query is the ground as all his best form is on good or quicker.

Spent last year in the grip of the handicapper after seven wins in 2024; more leniently treated now and ran respectably when sixth of 28 in the 7f Victoria Cup at Ascot; seemed unsuited by drop back to 5f next time; this intermediate trip is probably ideal these days and he commands respect.

Nine course wins to his name from 22 starts here (3-7 over C&D); in good form of late, having spent last year in the grip of the handicapper, but that was over 7f and whether he still has the toe for 5f, at his age off this mark, is the question; yard also runs Woohoo.

Three sprint wins in 2022; came on a ton from his previous start when winning at Musselburgh recently (5f, good to soft) and the return to a stiff finish could suit (ran well both starts here); back up just 3lb and should go well.

1lb lower than for his Hamilton win in July (6f, good) and he has run well in defeat on his last two starts, close up in fourth over C&D ten days ago; Ethan Tindall takes off a useful 7lb and he is more appealing than many; won't mind what the ground does.

Below best in light campaign for new yard in 2022 but returned with second to quite a promising rival at Thirsk 22 days ago (6f, soft; third has won since); withdrawn since when upset in stalls, as he had been last April; some risks therefore but solid claims if all goes well and the return to 5f shouldn't be much of an issue.
