Popped up over C&D (good) when beating Reginald Charles in June but after a subsequent run of placings he appears to have gone off the boil; did show a bit more on AW three weeks ago, however, and he's dipped below that winning mark; might go well at attractive odds.

Often leads; seven wins in 2026, mostly in sprints but also over C&D; much higher in the weights than his latest 7f win in July but he won with authority on Southwell AW last month and perhaps a further 7lb rise won't be beyond him.
