1-18 on turf but his only two appearances at this track saw him take third in the Spring Cup and this race in 2024; operating a bit below that level since last August, which, despite some AW success, has to put him down the pecking order in such a hot race.

Form & Verdict
Can take a strong hold but he settled better with a hood added when runner-up in a Class 2 over 7f here in November; his free-going tendencies resurfaced when last of seven in a steadily run affair at Lingfield (7f again) last time; more than capable off this mark if piecing it together but he will need to relax through the early stages now stepping up to 1m for only a second time (respectable tenth in Royal Hunt Cup on previous attempt).

Bounced back from two lesser runs on turf in the autumn when enhancing his good AW record with a defeat of the reopposing Talis Evolvere over C&D 17 days ago, his third straight win at this venue; quickened up nicely to score quite convincingly, so a 6lb rise is unlikely to prevent him making a bold bid for four in a row here.
