Form & Verdict
His last three wins have been at Brighton (1m4f, good to firm) and the latest was last October; fourth of 12 on the turf course here ten days ago was his best result since and puts him back in calculations, with a C&D second in 2021 among his back catalogue.

10yo whose last win came in a classified at Lingfield (1m4f, AW) over a year ago; has struggled since and, while he wasn't beaten far when sixth of seven at Leicester (1m4f, good to firm) 20 days ago, others are preferred.

Runner-up at Brighton (7f/1m) in his first two handicaps and went one better when 4-9 in a five-runner race at Chepstow (1m2f) last Monday; makes his AW debut but his dam's sire could provide the stamina and this lightly raced 3yo could have more to offer.

Did little on AW last year and a neck behind Platinum Perfect in 11.4f Windsor classified on latest outing, when they finished eighth and ninth; however, started favourite that day on the strength of his second in Chepstow handicap (1m4f) nine days earlier and reverting to that form would give him a chance.
