Enhanced his good Thirsk record when landing a 5f handicap last month (blinkered first time); wouldn't judge him too harshly on latest Catterick fourth where he did best of the pair to come near side in a messy race; other pace on show here though and he looks vulnerable.

A wind operation has turned things around for him this summer, winning 5f handicaps at Catterick and Goodwood; 6lb rise for the latter win takes his mark into the 90s but he battled well on that occasion and his style of racing should transfer well to Southwell.

Often leads; hardly beat a rival following his win in the 3yo Dash at Epsom last June but has settled down since having wind surgery, albeit hit hard for a Catterick win (5f, good to firm) in June and a subsequent Redcar defeat makes him look vulnerable now.

He has taken well to AW, winning over C&D last month and then going down narrowly at Southwell ten days ago; heavily backed here last week but met all the trouble going, eventually coming in fifth of the nine runners; 4lb out of the handicap but last week's run suggests he is back near his very best; this is a classier race but each-way claims.

Winless since June 2023 but he appreciated the return to 6f when finishing a good third of nine in a Group 3 at Ascot (6f, soft) in October despite racing on the wing for much of the way; he is well suited by that track but is effective elsewhere; one of the better candidates.
