Yet to win on turf (0-17) and his 'most recent' AW win was at Wolverhampton (6f) in December 2023; nothing positive to take from his last four starts, including when weakening quickly at Musselburgh (7f; 40-1) three weeks ago.

Steadily on the downgrade now but has been placed in two handicaps here this season (1m/7f) and also ran well in a recent classified race here (7f); suited by fast ground and probably worth another crack at 1m2f; more appealing than some of these.

Has regressed this year but suggested he might be ready to exploit some significant help from the handicapper when clear second over C&D a fortnight ago and he has the services of Simon Walker today; cheekpieces (tried once in 2022) given another whirl; likely contender.
