Form & Verdict
Made it 4-7 for his current yard when scoring at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) three weeks ago but his progress came to a halt with a 10l defeat at Nottingham last time; drops back in grade off only 2lb higher than for last win but he didn't have an obvious excuse last time and has a bit to prove again after that; change of headgear.

Career win number ten at Yarmouth last month (6f, good) and the first-time visor tried there was replaced by cheekpieces when fourth at Bath; with the visor back on he's entitled to have some say.

All of his turf wins have been on good or quicker and he secured his tenth career success when scoring at Yarmouth (6f) two weeks ago; remains feasibly treated off 4lb higher and he's a big player again if he gets a good tow into this race; visor worn last time is removed and cheekpieces return.

Won off way higher marks in the past and ran respectably to be third at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) last time; first-time visor joins his regular tongue-tie (usually wears cheekpieces) and he's down to a career-low mark; has run well here before and he's respected.

Imposing 4yo who has raised his form to a new level with his 6f wins at Doncaster (good) and York (good to firm) in his last two starts; up 9lb for his win last week but he surged clear to beat 14 rivals and still looks feasibly treated; major player again in hat-trick bid.

Can miss the break and his last win was in November 2021 but he's very well treated on his highs of last year and was a creditable third at Leicester (7f, good to firm) 18 days ago; now drops back in trip but he ran well over C&D last summer and is in the mix.

All three wins (5f/6f) came as a 2yo but he's well handicapped on his best form and has finished placed over 7f (good/good to firm) in his last two starts; yard is in decent form and he could be dangerous on this return to sprinting.

One C&D success among a magnificent total of 13 wins; below best at Epsom last week but he showed he retains plenty of ability since absence when a front-running second of eight at Lingfield (6f, AW) in June; can give it a good shot from rail draw back on AW.
