Form & Verdict
A maiden after 17 starts but hasn't been with John Flint long and seemed to appreciate the return to a sound surface when fifth of 18 (albeit safely held) at Newbury (1m4f, good) three weeks ago; another 2lb lower here and this race is much easier; might be the answer.

Latest of his six wins was in clearcut style in this race last year (good to firm) off 1lb higher, making all; running creditably back on turf this season and looks set for a bold show, but all of today's rivals are either in good form too and/or far less exposed.

His six wins include two over C&D; no match for No More Bolero when second here (2m1f, good to firm) in April, although he is 5lb better off with that rival; fourth of 12 at Ascot (2m, good) four weeks ago and holds place claims.

Scored for the sixth time when making all at Newbury (13.5f, good to firm) off 1lb lower in July and gave it a fair go from the front when second at Bath (2m1f, good to firm; Educator third) three weeks ago; same mark and should make his presence felt.

Generally disappointing since his winning 2yo debut and finished well down the field when tried in cheekpieces (now removed) on AW last month but has become too well handicapped to ignore.

Form & Verdict
Dual AW winner in 2021 but no joy since, and he has become very inconsistent; gave good account when fourth at Southwell (1m4f, AW) in March but struggled (albeit on good to soft ground) when back on turf last month.

Good record here down the years, with form figures of 21319 highlighting two wins at 1m4f (good); also scored twice over this trip in 2023 (including on good to soft) but no wins since and he only saw the track once last year; still worth a market check ahead of his return.
