Three-time C&D winner, including twice off higher marks in the month of April; unlucky third, having found daylight too late, in this race 12 months ago; soft ground was against him here last weekend; likely player if the cards drop right.

Hasn't won as often as one of his ability probably should but he did score twice in 2025, the latter win over C&D; 3lb higher in a better race this time and he'll need to be somewhere near last year's best to take this after four months off.

T: Stuart Williams

Won from a similar mark at Lingfield (5f; 8-1) in November; form levels have dipped since finishing third back there in January, failing to beat a single rival the last twice; is 2-4 over C&D, so it's possible that added cheekpieces can rekindle a spark.

Form & Verdict
Comes with a risk attached as he can have issues at the start, and he was only fifth last time when getting away on terms; however, the race favoured those ridden more prominently and this multiple Newcastle winner could be a contender if today's race pans out more favourably.
