Dual 7f AW winner at Chelmsford in early part of this year and appreciated dip back into Class 4 company when third at Musselburgh (7f, good) this month; might have gone very close there had he not been squeezed for room in the closing stages, and remains on a good mark.

Three wins in a busy campaign this year, the latest at Pontefract (1m, good) last month; another solid effort when second of 13 in a Racing League handicap at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago and although up another 3lb, still makes the shortlist.

Won AW maiden in the autumn and quickly put disappointing seasonal/handicap debut behind him when making all over C&D (good) last month; did not look straightforward when only fifth at Doncaster three weeks ago, though, and his tendency to race too freely remains a worry; cheekpieces added.

Has form on all surfaces; won this in 2021 and 2023, and finished a close second in 2022, but he was well beaten when favourite here 12 months ago and his form has been quite mixed this year; he's a possible reviver back in this race but he hasn't justified shortish prices on last two starts, including over C&D, which leaves questions to answer.
