C&D win was sole 7f success among eight others over 6f; however, he stayed on well and only just failed to get up over Newcastle's stiff 6f in April so a good run isn't impossible in first 7f run since March 2025.

Won twice at Wolverhampton (6f) last month and he was unfortunate not to finish closer when sixth over this C&D on his penultimate start; beaten a neck at Newcastle (6f, AW) three days ago and there's no reason why he can't go well again.
