Six-time winner but his last success was in February 2024; ended last year with a close call at Newcastle (5f, AW) but he's been out of sorts since and was last of 14 at Doncaster in April; has plenty to prove and he needs a major revival after a break.

Front-running wins in classified events over C&D and at Ffos Las in June; placed twice over C&D since, recording a career-best RPR when a close second last month; edging up the weights but slower ground no issue and she's more appealing than many.

Beat 13 rivals to win a Dundalk handicap in December (5f, AW); of interest on that run, as well as several others this winter, before well beaten in two runs for his new yard in the spring; four-month break could have freshened him up and cheekpieces now given a go (three of his six wins have come in some sort of headgear); Tom Marquand is a good booking.
