Form & Verdict
Hard to predict in his six runs but he ran well in the first-time visor on his return at York (7f, good to firm), and that now returns after it was missing over 1m at Pontefract 13 days ago; that heightens interest for sure.

Wildly inconsistent since winning his 2yo novice; at least ran okay at Haydock last time (6f, good to firm; first-time cheekpieces now dispensed with) and subsequent wind surgery could help matters.

Ran his best race for this yard when third of ten at Wolverhampton on Monday (6f), leading in the straight but hanging sharply to his left and causing chaos in behind; stays this longer trip but he'll need to keep straighter to win.

0-14 since successful at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) on his second start as a 2yo when trained by Kevin Ryan; first-time blinkers join the tongue-tie, but this looks an inadequate test for him now.

Brought up the tail at Newmarket last time but usually consistent; however, he's notoriously hard to win with (2-33) and it's difficult to know what he'll make of blinkers (usually wears cheekpieces).

Beaten a long way at Leicester three weeks ago on his first run of the season but heavy reappearance defeats have been a recurring theme in his profile; won over C&D (good to soft) on final outing last year and he's also run well here on fast ground; could bounce back with a big run.

Much improved for the first-time blinkers and stepping up to 7f when running away with a handicap here three weeks ago (good to firm); remains to be seen if he can reproduce that and, even then, a 13lb rise asks a question of him.

Just two Tapeta runs, winning the latest at Newcastle (7f) last January; treading water for much of 2023 but down in the weights and his recent second at Chelmsford (7f; short-priced favourite) was a lot better; can be effective back at 6f but this is a quick return for one who regularly has breaks between races.
