Form & Verdict
Three AW wins last year, including at this track (7f) off this mark; the handicapper has had his measure since that win but this is weaker than he's used to and a revival could be forthcoming; cheekpieces, in which he's 1-1, replace a visor today.

He has made good progress in the last 12 months, winning three AW handicaps in the second half of 2024 and taking another step forward when scrambling home at Southwell (7f) on his return in March; less good twice since and now drops to 5f for the first time; others perhaps better treated.

Quirky type with a patchy record but he justified favouritism at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month and had an excuse when stepped back up to 1m2f at Brighton (took strong hold) last time; still looks feasibly treated on that penultimate form and has claims if he can bounce back again.

17-race maiden who looked a difficult ride when pulling hard here (1m2f classified) last time but he wasn't beaten far in that race, and that was after an eyecatching fourth over C&D two weeks earlier; comes with risks attached but he's not ruled out back in trip.
