Form & Verdict
Consistent sort who ran well off 3lb higher on last appearance; however, badly lacks recent match practice (absent since March 2022) and takes on a couple of last-time-out scorers.

Back from a long absence at Fontwell a month ago (2m1f, good to soft) and he pushed a well-in winner all the way; these softer conditions won't inconvenience him if he can hold his form (usually consistent).

Form & Verdict
2-3 at Fontwell; absent since his easy success at Worcester (2m4f, good) in May; now 9lb higher but Cillin Leonard takes off a handy 5lb; serious player provided he returns in similar form.

Seemingly too high in the weights after wide margin win in spring 2023, and ran very poorly on latest outing in May; has more to prove than a few of these but at least he's back down to a workable mark for this reappearance.
