Improved for the switch to nurseries, following his Chelmsford third (5f) with a ready win over 6f back there 18 days ago; that form has already been advertised and he should confirm placings with Mbappe; leading claims despite his 6lb rise.

Justified favouritism, by half a length, in C&D contest last week for a first win since 2024; incurs 5lb penalty but Donagh Murphy claims that amount; remains well treated on historical data anyway; respected, assuming he takes to first-time cheekpieces.
