Form & Verdict
Shaped well over C&D on his handicap debut/reappearance and confirmed he was well handicapped when blitzing his rivals from the front at Ripon last week (6f, heavy); that effort backed up by the clock and he's well in under a penalty; the one to beat.

Three wins came on soft/heavy ground and he's gone backwards from a pleasing comeback, including on his preferred going over C&D last month; much will hinge on how he responds to first-time headgear.

Three wins in 2024 on soft/heavy but has gone backwards since his Pontefract reappearance third in April, including back on soft ground latest; on a good mark again but has something to prove for now.

His three wins last year, latterly off a 2lb lower mark, came on soft/heavy going; has not had his conditions in three runs this season and better can be expected, for a yard that also saddles Copper Knight, should the ground ease.

Won twice as a 2yo (good to firm and AW); didn't run badly back from 190 days off at Southwell 13 days ago but more will be required if he's to come out on top here.

J: Daniel Tudhope

T: David O’Meara

His form can be up and down but he won at Redcar (5f, soft) in May and went close at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; he didn't enjoy the best of passages when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time in a first-time visor (retained) and he could be in the shake-up.

Form & Verdict
Both wins and best form have come on AW, registering a career-best effort when beating eight rivals at Newcastle ten weeks ago; found this C&D an inadequate test when fourth in a nursery last October; might need the pace to collapse to come out on top.

Now 13lb lower than for his Hamilton win (6f, good to firm) last June but he's been well held in all four runs this season; won't mind if the forecast rain arrives but losing run is up to 12 and this looks a tough task against Novamay; cheekpieces removed.

Gained his first turf success over C&D one year ago when rated 7lb higher; had wind surgery (his second) before returning to action last month but neither run this year, including last week's C&D seventh, suggested he was primed to strike; blinkers now given a go.
