8yo whose losing run goes back 18 races to July 2024 but he's often run well in the meantime, including on his last two starts; each-way player.

Last of four wins came in July 2024, but has been runner-up twice over C&D this year, latest on firm ten days ago; likes to hear his feet rattle and if the ground is in his favour then he would come into this.

Form & Verdict
In good form last autumn, completing a hat-trick with a defeat of 14 rivals over C&D in October; subsequent Lingfield defeat easy enough to excuse; could have more to come this year but he's returning from five months off and was only third in the corresponding event after a similar absence last year.

Improved his turf strike-rate to 7-26 when beating 13 rivals over C&D (good to firm) last month; that was a narrow success but he's been as good as ever since a visor has been added and is versatile ground-wise; big player again up 3lb.

Form & Verdict
Had a fine campaign in 2022 but a consequence was that he was harshly handicapped last year; begins this campaign 20lb lower than 12 months ago and conditions won't be a problem; well drawn to attack; interesting having travelled a long way for this reappearance.

Some good runs in defeat this April-July and he's well treated on that form; however, this 8yo wasn't performing at the same level in the second half of the summer and needs to raise his game back from a two-month break.
