J: David Allan

T: Tim Easterby

Won three times last year but he has gone without success in 12 runs in 2025; down the weights and last month's Pontefract effort can be upgraded, making up ground towards the middle of the track (slowly away after the blindfold was removed late too); dropped 1lb despite the promise of that effort and his dam was an AW winner; cheekpieces replace the blinkers worn on his last two starts; could be interesting.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't won since May 2022 but has been knocking on the door this year, finishing runner-up four times; at his best on sharp turning tracks such as this one and Catterick; had one of his lesser efforts when taken on for the lead at Catterick (6f, good to firm) this month but is the type to bounce back with first-time cheekpieces replacing blinkers.

He hasn't been at his very best this year and a refusal to settle is becoming an issue; however, he was returning from a break at Doncaster three weeks ago and that run may have got the freshness out of him; impressive when winning two in a row over C&D last autumn and not written off.
