Progressive 4yo who impressed in big-field handicap at Glorious Goodwood (1m2f, good) and was a close third of 15 at York (1m2f, good to firm) subsequently; his surplus stamina may be no bad thing in what is likely to be a strongly run race and he's respected for his top stable.

A winning debut looked unlikely for most of the 7f trip at Haydock last July but he picked up strongly in the closing stages to win a steadily run race quite cosily; mixed messages from the form but he's clearly blessed with a good level of ability and he'll be more streetwise today; betting revealing after the absence.

Only raced four times for Charles Hills but he won a 7f novice on his debut and finished second in both handicaps in 2024; the form of the Newbury second worked out extremely well and this mark ought to be in range; a 560-day absence, during which time he has changed hands (30,000gns last July) and been gelded, is the obvious concern but he returns for a stable in red-hot form; hooded first time; betting informative.
