Form & Verdict
Respectable ninth in the Stewards' Cup and followed that with a close fourth at Windsor; ran poorly at Ripon but is capable of bouncing back from that and his record on synthetics is solid; stamina for 7f is the burning issue.

Overcame a wide trip to score at Kempton (AW) last week, benefiting from the return to this grade and belated step up to 7f; now 3-6 in Class 4 events and remains unexposed at this distance; 5lb penalty is largely offset by Frederick Larson's useful claim; respected.

Enhanced his solid AW record to 311211 when making all for a narrow success over C&D three weeks ago; 2lb rise isn't too damaging and he's well drawn to get the lead early.

His last four wins have been over C&D but latest was in August 2024; well handicapped on old form but he's been out of sorts in three runs for his current yard and was beaten 12l here (6f) in December; returns after a break and needs a major revival back up in trip; cheekpieces reapplied.

Standout run for current yard (is ex-Gosden) when going down by a neck over C&D in April; is hard to fancy on what we've seen of late even allowing for 1m2f stretching him the last twice; cheekpieces removed.

On a long losing run but he's well handicapped on last year's best efforts and was beaten just a neck at Leicester (7f, soft) last time on his second start back from a break; has won twice here (6f/7f, good to firm) and it's a course that often brings out the best in him; firmly in calculations.

Winless since October 2024; form figures of 223 here through December (6f/7f) suggested he was near to ending that barren sequence; however, his latest effort (eighth) was a step backwards, leaving this 9yo stablemate of True Promise work to do against Dandy Magic; easing mark.
