His last win was over C&D but that was in a novice in December 2022; very well treated on old form but he's faded in his five runs this year and was beaten 15l at Chepstow (7-2) last time; had a difficult track position in that race but he needs a big turnaround back in trip.

Useful in his younger days but, while he remains consistent, he's been on the downgrade for a while and has only won one of his last 43 starts; better effort on his second run back over C&D last time and this is a bit easier off a career-low mark.

Despite another slow start, he took this off 4lb higher last year by 1l from Recon Mission, who reopposes on 8lb worse terms; half-length Ffos Las second in debuted blinkers (retained) latest was a best effort since, minor traffic issues notwithstanding, and he demands consideration.
