Patchy record since winning a 9.4f handicap here in December 2024; however, that was when ridden by Rossa Ryan (form figures of 11312 when he has been aboard) and he is now 13lb lower; needs a revival but a return to positive tactics from stall 1 would seem likely and he is an interesting contender.
