A good few short-priced defeats to go with his sole win (AW) but he's been threatening since returned to turf and he won't mind going back up in trip.

Form & Verdict
Rarely runs on turf these days, this being just the second time since he won this in 2022; this is easier than the races he's used to constesting off his higher AW mark and a repeat win wouldn't surprise.

9yo who has had 16 wins on AW, in January most recently; sole turf win (from 19 attempts) was at Yarmouth in 2022 but he came within a neck of another in a classified at same track (6f, good to firm) 18 days ago, which was the first time this year that he's worn his usual cheekpieces; has a shout if that form is repeated.

Regressed for his previous yard but did much better back from five months off over C&D (soft) a fortnight ago; his profile would suggest he's no certainty to build on that on different ground however.

Hot-and-cold front-runner; lost his way for Darryll Holland before a better effort back with old yard over C&D last time (soft); that gave something to build on, with the return to a fast surface in his favour.

Nine-time winner; good runs few and far between in 2025 and he made a low-key return to action over C&D two weeks ago; revival not out of the question but others look safer.

J: Aiden Brookes

Finished a narrow second in this race last year for previous connections; failed to beat a rival in three starts (all C&D) since returning for this yard in May; well treated now but she's very hard to recommend at present, with wind surgery the only obvious straw to clutch at.
