Enjoyed a fine time of it on AW over the winter, rattling off a four-timer in December and January; disappointing at Windsor 12 days ago when the return of blinkers didn't help matters; they are off again now and his soft-ground form needs bettering.

Just 3-26 on turf but this C&D does work well for him and he gained a deserved first win on the track when just fending off Uncle Don (good to firm) in May; has had going (good to soft) and trip (5f) excuses since but this company could be overwhelming.

Ended 2025 with three consecutive 6f AW wins and was successful twice on turf in the spring (5.7f/6f); does not have much margin for error off current mark, though, and this 63rd career start is his first over 5f.

It has been a while since his last win but he retains a good chunk of ability and has run several solid races in defeat this year, including in a competitive sprint at Hamilton last week; C&D winner with a good record at Newmarket (both tracks); solid contender.

Two wins and two seconds to his name from nine runs over C&D, has always tended to do well around this time of year and has slid to a handy mark; odds-on to miss the break and will need things to fall right from stall 12 but there are positives.

Two wins (disqualified from one) and a close fourth to his name from four runs over C&D, his last success coming off 4lb higher in February; not as good or consistent now but unlucky not to go closer last time and the handicapper's given him every chance.
