C&D winner who scored on the other course here (1m, good) in May; hasn't hit the same level in four subsequent runs but he was not beaten far at Thirsk last time and he ties in with Tuscan Hills on that form; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets the breaks.

Well beaten at Epsom on Oaks day and he still had work to do when his path was blocked late on over this C&D three weeks ago; however, before those he won in good style on the other Newmarket course (1m, good) and he won this race in 2024 (good to soft); capable of having a say.

Usually travels strongly; 0-6 this season, coming from the back again for creditable minor honours over 7f on heavy ground at Leicester and Newbury (yesterday) in his two starts this autumn; he's the sort who needs things to drop right but more than capable off this mark if they do.
