Form & Verdict
Started off well for this yard last summer, including a 15l win at Ffos Las last August (1m4f, good); back in form the last twice but it remains to be seen if this drop in trip is what he needs; cheekpieces now added.

J: Mr McKenzie Graham

Five turf wins, most recently at Ffos Las (1m6f, good to soft; other wins on good or quicker) in July 2024; suffered two heavy defeats this year but refitting regular cheekpieces could make a difference.

Five wins include two on this course, over 1m4f (good) and 1m6f (good to soft); handicapper has given him a chance and he should come on for a remote third of four here in July following a layoff; form chance.

Form & Verdict
Two AW wins when trained by Richard Hughes (1m and 1m2f) and he made a perfect start for his new yard when easily seeing off 12 rivals at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in March; similar form in defeat on his last three starts, including on firm turf last time, and he should be bang there once more.

Most effective when able to dominate as he again showed when making all at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last month; given no peace up front there last time and now 7lb higher than for the win, but dangerous if allowed his own way and does have winning form over C&D.
