Dual 1m winner; acts on a sound surface and good to soft; has slid gradually in the handicap and looks well treated on 2023 form; tongue-tie now accompanies cheekpieces; support for him would pique interest.

Below par more often than not this year but soft ground may not have suited the last twice (most recently at Carlisle on Wednesday) and before those he was a good second at Thirsk (1m, good); capable of a bold show.

Showed useful form for previous yard; 0-11 for current stable but last few efforts, most recently going close off this mark at Leicester (7f) last week, suggest his turn is near; appears to have a leading chance (due to go up 3lb from tomorrow).
