Raced at 5f; displayed significant improvement to win novice on Wolverhampton's Tapeta in June but he hasn't got near that level in three turf starts either side; hardly looks to be crying out for 7f and he's drawn wide so his claims aren't obvious, for all that he's with a good yard.

Ran into a smart rival when a front-running second at Ripon (6f, good) on debut but was beaten 12l in that race and he struggled in the Woodcote at Epsom last time; this looks more realistic on drop in trip but he's not easy to weigh up and others are more persuasive; tongue-tie added.

Over two years since the second of his two wins; lurks on a dangerous mark though and his two runs this year have seen him finish within 3l of the winner; has his first run at Pontefract but he is effective around a left-hand turn; can't rule out from a handy draw.

It's a long time since he won but he was a close third over C&D (good to soft) last September and was an encouraging sixth of 18 on reappearance at Thirsk (6f, good); refitted with cheekpieces (which are combined with his tongue-tie) for the first time since a win at Nottingham in autumn 2023; non-runner here on Sunday with a vet's certificate.
