Form & Verdict
Off the mark at the 12th attempt when justifying favouritism in a Musselburgh handicap (7f, good) 17 days ago; up 4lb but he pulled clear with a subsequent winner last time and he hit a personal best in that race; big player again.

Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester.

Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer.

Form & Verdict
Went close on his nursery debut at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) last September but his form went in the wrong direction in final two runs last season; has been gelded and cheekpieces are now added but he has a bit to prove back on turf after 212 days off.

Yet to win on turf (0-17) and his 'most recent' AW win was at Wolverhampton (6f) in December 2023; nothing positive to take from his last four starts, including when weakening quickly at Musselburgh (7f; 40-1) three weeks ago.

Inconsistent nine-race maiden but he caught the eye with his late headway into third of 15 at Redcar (7f, good) ten days ago; was beaten around 4l at a big price but that was behind a major improver and he could be dangerous if he can back that up.

Struggled on his three 2yo starts (6f/7f) and beaten 6l when fifth of eight on recent handicap debut at Redcar (1m, soft), but he could improve for that reappearance outing and the dam's side of his pedigree indicates this step up in trip will be a plus; not ruled out in first-time blinkers.
