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.

Won two in a row at Redcar (1m1f/1m, good to firm) last month and completed hat-trick at Hamilton (1m1f, good) last Saturday; he's 6lb higher than last time and has never won over this far, but he's finished strongly for his recent wins and there's still plenty of mileage in his mark on old form.

Bids for a hat-trick after two wins on good to firm ground at Redcar, the latest in an apprentice handicap over 1m under Conor Whiteley on Wednesday; can race off 1lb lower and shouldn't have an issue with stepping back up trip, while rain would also be no problem; major claims.

Has done his winning at trips between 6f and 1m; losing run goes back to March 2024 but, following a spell in the doldrums for previous yard and this one, he's been back in better form of late, doing some good late work on the AW at Kempton (1m) and Wolverhampton (about 1m1f); can be involved with Tom Marquand up for the first time

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.
