Form & Verdict
His last win was in October 2022 but he's on a reduced mark and ran his best race for some time when runner-up behind a resurgent rival at Southwell (6f, Tapeta) last Saturday; that was a good effort after an awkward start and has claims if he can back that up.

Conditions to suit and he ran well in defeat at Chelmsford (5f) in February/March; didn't run badly in a stronger C&D handicap last week and he can feature prominently back into 0-55 company.

Form & Verdict
Returned to form with a front-running second in a classified event at Southwell (6f, Tapeta; 22-1) on Thursday but this looks tougher back in a handicap and his record now stands at 1-28; others are more persuasive.

Gained first turf win over 6f here (good to firm; stable debut) on penultimate start, and backed up with a solid effort (runner-up) at Doncaster; no issue with this longer trip and, while a combined 7lb rise will make life tougher, he's the one who arrives in the best form.

Five-time AW winner who made his belated breakthrough on turf when scoring on recent stable debut at Redcar (6f); up 5lb but he was as good as ever last time and has claims if he can back that up; last run was on good to firm but he's also effective on good to soft.
