Form & Verdict
Has won over 6f on AW but his best turf form has come over shorter; dropping into Class 5 company will help though and he has a good apprentice booked and the best of the draw; won't be easy to peg back.

7yo who recorded his 13th win when making all off a reduced mark at Bath (5f, good) two weeks ago; 3lb higher on this step back up in grade but he remains well treated on his best form and is 2-2 over C&D, including a success off current mark in this race 12 months ago; key player.

Multiple wins include this race (good) in 2025, on sole C&D start, then won two of his next three starts; his form died down after that which leaves him well treated again, 5lb lower than his latest win; good claims but he did seem better for his reappearance when coming up trumps last April.

Form & Verdict
Still seeking his first handicap success but there were some near misses on turf and AW last season; reappearance over 5f here 16 days ago was full of promise, held up and having plenty to do at halfway but keeping on well; return to 6f in his favour and cheekpieces could give him a lift (well held once in blinkers); more appealing than many.
