Opened account at Salisbury (1m, good to soft) in September, coming from off the pace for a clearcut success; last month's seasonal debut at Windsor was no better than satisfactory, but he might fare better now back on a stiff track and with that outing under his belt.

Frequent slow starter who's consistent but hard to win with and who will always need things to fall just so; on a fair mark, though, under Billy Loughnane (ordinary 2-33 for the yard), having run well over C&D early in the month.

Hostage to fortune under his usual running style but defied trouble in running for both 7.5f wins here last year, one at this meeting off today's mark; should be coming to the boil after two staying-on efforts over that same C&D this term, and did win third time out in 2025; very interesting.

C&D winner as a 2yo and back to form when successful at Kempton (7f; solid form) in October; below that level twice since but better than the result when seventh of 12 over C&D latterly having been caught wide from the outside stall; has fared better with the draw this time and could be dangerous having dipped to only 1lb above the mark he defied at Kempton.

Ran okay in a hot race over C&D last month and duly built on that when winning by a cosy neck 12 days ago (also C&D); major claims off 3lb higher; a positive showing from Waistcoat, who he beat last time, in the 6.40 would increase confidence.
