7-24 with his last win coming when joined on the line at Ripon (1m, good; 3-1 favourite) in April 2025; struggled on AW through the winter (0-4), and was pestered for the lead, weakening to finish fifth (beaten 8l), at Ripon five weeks ago; an easing mark isn't enough to tempt.

Dead-heated over C&D (good) last April and went very close at Carlisle in June; well handicapped on that form but a long way below his best on AW this year; the return to turf needs to trigger a major revival.

Two C&D wins on his record but he has finished down the field in three runs back from a break this year; only dropped 3lb for those defeats and he may need some more help from the handicapper.

Well held in three starts over 6f/7f on turf/Polytrack for Clive Cox last year; makes his stable/handicap debut (same owners) in a first-time tongue-tie after six months off having been gelded in the meantime; longer trip should suit on breeding and is a half-brother to two multiple course winners; no great surprise if he steps up.
