Inconsistent since completing a five-timer in 2021 and is not solid judged on form for present yard; however, has possibilities off current mark provided he takes well to first-time blinkers.

Only had the five starts and looks better on AW than turf on the evidence so far, including a win here (6f) just over a year ago; third in both handicaps over 7f on Tapeta at the start of the year and although not seen in eight months, she has gone well fresh before; one for the shortlist.

6f course novice winner in September and shaped well back from a break when keeping on for a never-nearer third on 7f Southwell handicap debut a week ago; much less exposed than today's opposition and looks capable of winning off this mark; same trainer/jockey took this race last year.

Form & Verdict
In great form on AW early this year, winning four times; less reliable since, latterly on turf, but returns to this sphere off a handy mark and has persuasive stats, being 2-4 under Billy Loughnane and 4-7 in Class 6; may be the answer.
