Returned from six months off with a win at Wolverhampton and he followed up with another narrow success at Pontefract (5f, good) 17 days ago; 3lb higher than for his front-running win last time but remains feasibly treated and is tactically versatile; key player for yard that won this in 2023 and 2025.

Two 5f good-ground wins last season (including here) and she was mid-division over C&D (good to soft) a fortnight ago when back from a year off; in view of the absence that was a reasonable performance against battle-hardened older sprinters, and she could improve for it.
