In excellent (winning) form on the AW for his current yard through the winter but he turned in a below-par fifth back on turf at Musselburgh (1m) a fortnight ago; he's the sort to bounce back though.

Mainly in good form with blinkers this turf season, winning here twice in May (over 8.5f on good and over 1m1f on soft); not quite at his best when 4l-fifth at Carlisle a week ago (1m1f, good); longer trip a concern for didn't appear to stay when tried at 1m2f in January.

No win since June 2022 (that was over C&D) but runner-up on four occasions, including when beaten by a nose here (7.5f) in July; recent Catterick form ties in closely with Elettaria and perhaps the newly applied visor can assist; no back number.
