Form & Verdict
Came good for Peter Chapple-Hyam with comfortable win at Leicester (6f, good to soft) in September and his subsequent defeat on heavy ground is not viewed harshly; absent since November but could easily have more to offer for new stable this year.

Didn't get home over 7f at Southwell in March and appreciated the drop to 6f when winning there 20 days ago following a short break; both wins on turf have been on good to soft, and has claims off this 3lb higher mark.

Seemingly aided by first-time tongue-tie when causing 28-1 surprise on AW in February (6f) but absent since running as though something was amiss the following month and has become far too inconsistent to rely upon; not the percentage call on first turf start since summer 2024.

Late-maturing 8yo who scored on seasonal debut at Chepstow (5f, good to firm) in May and posted another good effort when third at Ffos Las (6f, good) in June; remains on career-high mark but probably won't be far away.

Form & Verdict
Made low-key stable debut on AW in March but placed twice on turf in recent weeks, latterly when third at Wetherby (7f, good) a fortnight ago; has a tendency to race too freely but it will be interesting to see whether combination of first-time cheekpieces and drop back in trip pays dividends here.
