Form & Verdict
Absent for 503 days after winning his maiden for Charlie Appleby; made a successful start for this yard in a 1m4f novice on Tapeta and didn't run badly next time in a strong C&D handicap, which was his best form to date; never involved over 1m6f at Newmarket 17 days ago but this looks more suitable.

Strong form when runner-up at Kempton (1m4f, AW) in May 2024; lightly raced since and unable to get competitive, most recently in Newmarket handicap (1m1f, good); it's possible he'll still be the main threat to Empirestateofmind, however; wears a first-time visor.

Industrious and usually dependable sort at 1m6f-2m2f; turf strike-rate is 1-20, however, and he was tailed off at Thirsk (good) on penultimate start, before he failed to shine at Newcastle's Northumberland Plate meeting (AW) for the third year in a row; not the percentage call.

Eleven wins include one over C&D (soft; equally effective on good to firm) on yard debut in June; back up 6lb but has won off slightly higher marks on the AW and his latest Sandown third, where he kept persevering, suggests he should be on the premises again.

Hasn't had much go right in his last two starts and is best known for his Polytrack exploits, as when successful off 4lb higher at Kempton (1m3f) in April; finished second of 14 over this C&D as a 3yo, though, so certainly one to be interested in.

All three wins have been on Polytrack and last two have been off higher marks over C&D; has mixed record since his last success in April but he was creditable fourth of 13 here last time and has claims if he can built on that.

His Flat four-timer in 2017 culminated in a success over C&D; won four times over hurdles in 2021/22, but his efforts under both codes since the start of last year, including three outings for this yard, don't suggest the veteran will be winning this.
