Won over C&D in October 2024 off 9lb higher; however, he's run just five times since and has been disappointing in the main, particularly on both starts this season.

Form & Verdict
Bit to prove on softish ground but he won well over C&D in July and then bumped into a sharp improver (since completed a four-timer) over 1m6f at Salisbury; only 2lb higher for this and, if handling the ground, should go very close, at the least.
