Form & Verdict
Goes well at Bath and returned to winning form there (5f, good to firm) last month before a solid third of 16 (5.7f, good to soft) ten days later; beaten a short head in one previous go over this C&D, but his high draw makes things tricky.

Multiple wins include this race (good) in 2025, on sole C&D start, then won two of his next three starts; his form died down after that which leaves him well treated again, 5lb lower than his latest win; good claims but he did seem better for his reappearance when coming up trumps last April.
