Campaigned in higher grades this term, best effort when solid second at York in June; won easily off this mark at Catterick (7f, heavy) on last attempt in Class 4; interesting.

Couple of decent runs at York in June/July (7f, good to soft) and not beaten far when seventh to Cerulean Bay over C&D last time (good); best with give in the ground, so any rain a positive.

Form & Verdict
Soundly beaten at Thirsk and Wolverhampton the last twice and it's possible he's gone off the boil, but he's won four times over C&D this season (soft-good to firm) and could get back on track with a big run now back here.

Has an excellent record at this track and won this 12 months ago off a 10lb higher mark (on soft); powers are on the wane now a 9yo and he's not made much of an impact this year, including when third here 22 days ago.

Won this off 6lb higher last year, but he's not made a big impact this season and has been beaten 4l or more in his last five runs; most of those have been at this track and he needs to significantly raise his game.

Form & Verdict
Completed five-timer in 2021 (including wins on soft/heavy); unable to get competitive more recently but didn't run badly in August/September on first two starts for this yard, and the testing ground and reduced mark are interesting factors today; wears a first-time hood.

Made the frame over C&D at start of this month and again ran well on heavy ground when third behind Highfield Viking at Thirsk (7f, heavy) six days later; remains without a win since 2021, though, and drying ground will severely dent his appeal today.
