Won his novice last season over 7f but kept to 6f this campaign and has won handicaps on good and soft ground; probably not helped by a slow pace when sixth at Newcastle but wasn't all that far away; remains of interest.

Form & Verdict
Now back to the same mark off which he beat 17 rivals at York in May (5f, good to firm) and there's light at the end of the tunnel after finishing only 3l off the principals last time at Ascot (6f); won his novice here on soft; respected.

All wins at 5f, one of them here at last year's Dante meeting, and he's on the same mark as when making a successful return at Yarmouth in April (5f, good to firm); best produced late off a strong pace at 5f though and his 6f form is unconvincing.

Won this 12 months ago (making it 2-2 at the track) and this campaign took a turn for the better when placed at Thirsk three weeks ago (6f, good); handicapped to be very competitive but his best form is on good or faster ground.

Not the force of old but that is reflected in his handicap mark; has undergone wind surgery since his latest run but it isn't enough to earn him the vote in this competitive race; usual headgear is absent today.

Five visits here have resulted in three wins and two places, all at 6f; made an encouraging return when fourth of nine at Ripon three weeks ago and he's slipped to a dangerous mark; tempting.

All of his four wins have been at Yarmouth (6f, good/good to firm) and latest was in September 2024; well treated on old form but he had a mixed record last season and was well held in the autumn on his final two runs; has a bit to prove after six months off and others are preferred.

Ran away with a Class 4 handicap at Brighton this month (6f, good) and from a bad draw he raced widest when well held in mid-division at Southwell last week; now 8lb higher than for that recent win but has good form off this mark and he goes on soft ground; respected.

Too headstrong in a clear lead at Southwell (7f) last time, so did fairly well to be beaten only 2l in the end; gained last win off 10lb higher at Newcastle in August 2024; fighting chance provided he settles.

Well treated on last year's high points and it wasn't a bad run from off the pace at Chelmsford 12 days ago, given how that race panned out (pulled hard/got behind/found trouble); the cheekpieces are worth persevering with.

Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say.

Versatile regarding ground and he was winning his 12th race when beating Jimmy Speaking and Final Night at Newmarket (1m, good) three weeks ago; that was a comfortable win and he has the assistance of Ryan Moore but this demands more from him (has never won off a mark this high).

Over three years since his last win; down the field in two hot handicaps this season but last season's peak effort came when a close second in the Stewards' Cup and he's now 4lb lower; not straightforward but more than enough ability to contend.
