Made a promising start for Michael Dods when third at Beverley but failed to build on it when fourth in the mud at Thirsk (1m) last month; cheekpieces go on; he's well worth another chance.

Returned from two-month break with a win at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) last month and he went close at Thirsk (1m, good) on Saturday; this C&D winner has very solid claims off the same mark as four days ago.

Yard won this or a division of it three times since 2016, including with this one in 2024; successful return to turf at Wetherby (1m, good to firm; second Rajapour was hampered) in April and didn't do much damage to his mark by going back up just 2lb; the stronger the pace the better; respected.
