Form & Verdict
Not had the best of times since an excellent third in a big field at Newbury in September but has dropped a long way in the weights and his latest third over 1m2f at Bath offered hope; stays 1m4f well enough (from limited opportunities) to think he can be involved.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Mike Murphy

Held on to win at Kempton (2m, AW) in February and posted a solid effort when fourth at Southwell (2m, AW) 84 days ago; off since and this drop back in trip probably isn't ideal on his first outing on turf since September 2023.

Has won over a similar trip on turf and although 0-5 on AW she ran two fair races in staying handicaps on final two starts for Charlie Fellowes in the autumn; both runs for new yard on soft ground and looks more interesting back on this track with Oisin Murphy booked (6-14 for yard).

Nothing forthcoming on turf debut two starts ago but had previously kept on well into a close sixth on handicap debut over C&D in April and he should appreciate the return to this trip following a narrow 1m2f success at Lingfield last month (first-time cheekpieces, retained); every chance.
