Has poor strike-rate in recent years and is often sluggish in the early stages; recent efforts off lowly marks do not suggest he is poised to add to his tally.

Won just once since getting up late in a C&D classified stakes (good to soft) in August 2023; not disgraced but hasn't done enough to suggest that his turn is forthcoming in four starts this year.

Track regular who won over C&D just over one year ago; wasn't beaten far when sixth of nine behind Dumfries over C&D (also good to firm) on his June return but two lesser runs have followed; needs to turn the ship around; 1lb out of the weights.

Fourth of 22 at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and built on that when winning at Beverley (8.5f) the following month; latest Beverley effort was not so good and he has fared no better than sixth in six races from a mark of 61 and higher.

No win since June 2022 (that was over C&D) but runner-up on four occasions, including when beaten by a nose here (7.5f) in July; recent Catterick form ties in closely with Elettaria and perhaps the newly applied visor can assist; no back number.
