Four-time turf winner on fast and slow ground; has had several close finishes at 5f this year and he was only just caught over 6f at Catterick (good) on Monday; on same mark on this drop back in trip and he's a strong contender back in a Class 6 event.

Without a win since May 2023 when previously trained by this yard and he's since dropped a long way in the weights; below his best at Catterick (6f, soft; first-time visor) a week ago and needs to get back on track.

Form & Verdict
Already a dual 5f AW scorer in 2023 and he had a near miss at Chelmsford (Polytrack) last week; his last win on grass was in 2020 but he ran well at Catterick (third of ten) on his penultimate run and has possibilities back off his lower turf mark.

Form & Verdict

Form & Verdict
Has a patchy record but he scored at Redcar (5f, good to firm) last summer and ended last year with two wins on AW at Wolverhampton; up another 6lb after 158 days off but he had plenty in hand last time and is a big player if he can pick up where he left off.

Handles most ground and is well treated on his C&D win in September 2021 but he's drawn a blank since and has been laboured in both runs this term; blinkers return on this drop back to 5f but others are more convincing.
