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.

Good strike-rate; ended 2024 in fine form and he's continued the good work in 2025, winning at Newmarket in April and over C&D three weeks ago (good run over 6f here in between); has a career-high mark but he has the rail draw and his record for Oisin Murphy reads 61121; drying ground in his favour; solid contender.
