Form & Verdict
Won his first two races for Tony Carroll, namely a 5.5f handicap at Bath (good) and a 5f handicap at Salisbury last month (heavy); not seen to best effect in his hat-trick bid three weeks ago and likely he's still in top form; still has a bit of potential.

Three 6f wins, all on good or slower; of interest on last season's best and although she was well beaten on her reappearance, the stiff 7.5f at Beverley wouldn't have been ideal; would like to see significant rain before getting involved.

All five wins have been on turf, the last three over this trip; only 2lb higher than for his latest success (June 2025) and he reappeared with a promising effort over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he's versatile ground-wise.
