Form & Verdict
Sole win was last August off 2lb higher (5f, good); running well this season without genuinely threatening to double his tally but this is his first time in a Class 6 and that must help; strong chance.

Down the field at Pontefract last time but in pretty good form previously, finishing third at Catterick (5f, good to soft) two starts ago, and he could have a part to play in a first-time tongue-tie.

Has tended to be kept to easier tracks but has plenty in his favour otherwise, with him well handicapped and back in form (race didn't pan out his way last time); should go well.

0-11 but not badly in with some of these on previous encounters and he ran quite well at Musselburgh (5f, good to firm) last time given that the blindfold was removed late; now in cheekpieces.

His penultimate start (C&D), his first after a wind op, offered hope he might be ready to exploit his much-reduced mark; less good over 6f last month and now steps back up in class.

J: Lauren Young

T: Jim Goldie

In blistering form two winters back, climbing from a BHA mark of 45 to 77; absent for 471 days prior to a 2025 campaign where he struggled; had a wind op in January and he hinted at a revival when beaten under 4l in a Class 5 here four weeks ago (5f); this looks more realistic and market confidence would look significant.

Gained his revenge on One Last Hug when making all for a narrow verdict over C&D last week; doesn't look well-in with a 5lb penalty.

Inconsistent and can have issues in the stalls, which proved a problem when a well-beaten favourite at Beverley on Wednesday (reared at the start and blindfold was removed late); however, he's well handicapped on last year's two fast-ground wins and is capable of a bold show.

Versatile trip-wise having been placed at up to 1m5f, while his latest win came over 6f here in December; rather in and out since and he failed to beat a rival at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) six days ago; others safer.
