Six times a course winner, including over this trip; can go well fresh and not handicapped out of things but slower ground would have been preferable. |

Gained his sixth win at Chester (5.5f, soft) last month; well beaten at York last month but turning tracks seem to bring out the best in him (has a win and second from only three visits here); not discounted. |

Finally exploited his drop in the weights when winning a C&D handicap last October (heavy ground); should come on for March's return to action at Doncaster and while slower ground would be ideal, he did run well in a fast-ground Stewards' Cup in 2020. |

Absent since prevailing narrowly on heavy ground at Goodwood in October, ending a three-year losing spell; not an obvious type to follow up, especially as his record in this race (three attempts) is modest. |

21st Jul 2023 Good To Soft 0m 6f 6y Class 2 |
9st 0lb |
Useful 2yo; struggled at three and he couldn't make much of an impact in Bahrain earlier in the year but he's run well in both starts since returning to Britain (in a new visor), notably when missing out narrowly at Haydock two weeks ago (6f, good); raced away from the well-handicapped winner on that occasion and drew 5l clear of the third (who has run well since; fifth also won next time); up 4lb but that looks lenient; strong claims. |

Three-time course winner, the latest when scoring comfortably over 5f last month; easy wins in successive days in early September (good to firm and heavy); now 24lb higher than when starting his winning spree and he will require another career best to overcome latest 11lb rise; certainly can't be ignored though. |

Half of his wins have come over C&D and he finished sixth (Fortamour third) in this race in 2024; runner-up in added blinkers at Hamilton (6f, soft; 11-2) last September, but has failed to sparkle since (0-3); easing mark and a return to Ripon are the positives. |
