Form & Verdict
Wins have come in the spring (first time out twice, second time out once), including over C&D off 3lb lower in May; very consistent but pays for it and there's little room for manoeuvre off this mark.

9yo who is winless since June 2024 and is nothing like the force of old; however, his recent 4l fourth of eight at Hamilton (8.3f, good) wasn't devoid of promise and he's another 3lb lower today; not ruled out each-way.

Form & Verdict
Back in form in first-time cheekpieces on Polytrack last time, when narrowly denied by a subsequent winner (pair nicely clear); an extended 1m on this ground is ideal and a good pace (he can take a grip) would improve his chances, upped 3lb.
