This versatile 6yo gained a third AW success at Lingfield when seeing off seven rivals on his reappearance this month; respectable fourth of ten at Kempton (1m) since; his two turf successes last year came on good to soft; ought to give his running.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 4yo who a 1m maiden on soft and 1m2f novice on AW last year; too keen when well held in 1m2f handicaps on turf/AW in the autumn but the drop back to 1m looks a good move on reappearance and he retains potential as an unexposed sort; has been gelded.

Likes the mud and well handicapped; latest third was on his first venture over 1m4f and he's spent much of his career at about 7f or 1m; often wears cheekpieces but sported nothing last time and now tries a visor; can go well.

Ex-Irish 4yo who shaped really well pitched in at the deep end on handicap debut in the Spring Mile at Doncaster, finishing sixth of 18 despite hanging badly to his left in the final 2f; the rapid forward move he made to the head of affairs before his waywardness kicked in suggests he's on a good mark; should take some stopping if plotting a straighter course this time.

Form & Verdict
Both wins for the Crisford stable came over 7f on AW; found it tough going in handicaps in the second half of 2023 and a watching brief is the percentage call on this first outing for a new stable after a 36,000gns sale last October.

Struggled last year, aside from a 6f win here off a similar mark in June; confirmed his liking for the course when hitting traffic and making a pleasing comeback a fortnight ago, and won't mind going back up to 7f (likely to be dropped in again from stall ten).
