Always in rear over C&D last Wednesday; however, he could have done with a stronger gallop and was on a hat-trick after winning twice over C&D in the spring; no surprise if he bounces back with a big performance.

Most of his wins have been at 1m but he swooped late on to score over 1m3f in January and led 1f out when asserting in tidy style over 1m4f early this month, both at this track; back up another 5lb and he's a 7yo, but peak form (October 2024) was a little better still and he's now 7-12 at Kempton; on the shortlist.

Somewhat interesting off an attractive mark back at Kempton, being 5-10 here, but all of that course form is over 1m; has a mixed record beyond that distance so carries risk back up in trip; however, certainly holds a fighting chance provided he's in top form.

Initially failed to progress after winning at Lingfield (1m, Polytrack) last April on his second start, but got back on track with handicap win at Salisbury (7f) last month; did well to score having been denied a clear run, and he's in the right hands to continue to improve; strong claims up 3lb.

His C&D win last August was the middle leg of a hat-trick; yet to finish better than fifth this year but when occupying that position over 1m2f two starts ago he wasn't beaten far after fading close home, and perhaps fast ground didn't suit last time out; could go well now back down in distance.
