13th time lucky when making his breakthrough at Southwell 11 days ago (6f), hanging across to the far rail but drawing clear with the runner up; that effort backed up by the clock and he's one to take seriously under penalty.

No win since October 2024 but he's on a reduced mark and showed signs of a revival when fourth at Thirsk (6f, good; 11-1) last month; has possibilities if he can build on that and he's effective at this trip.

Form & Verdict
Impossible to crab his consistency with his 17 runs for Tony Carroll seeing him record an RPR between 67 and 74, the latest good run coming here on Monday (7f); on the downside, he hasn't won any of them and he may have to make do with more minor money today.
