This is his first run since April 2024 and it remains to be seen how much ability he retains; however, the handicapper has given this two-time C&D winner a chance, and he's not ruled out on his first run for John Ryan (has left John Butler); watch the betting.

Back to form with a bang for this yard in 2023, completing a hat-trick last summer (7f Polytrack twice and 6f turf); not at his best at Chelmsford when last seen in September but he's gone well fresh in the past and can't be discounted.

It took until last month for him to break his duck in 2023, finally exploiting his reduced mark with a smooth come-from-behind success at Wolverhampton (6f); the leaders went off hard on that occasion and this isn't sure to be set up quite so nicely; 4lb rise is still within his range though.
