Four-time Flat winner who got off the mark over hurdles at Carlisle (2m3f, good) in April; only 2lb higher today and could plausibly have untapped potential over this longer trip but disappointed on last two outings (hurdles/Flat) and arrives here with a point to prove.

Absent since winning at Lingfield (2m AW, Class 6) in April 2022; the handicapper has given him a chance from an unchanged mark, with the combination of a tongue-tie and cheekpieces seemingly aiding his earlier progress; fitness to prove though off a 544-day absence.
