0-10 but is proving consistent having made the frame in his last four starts on varying ground; cheekpieces return for the first time since beaten a neck at Goodwood (1m, heavy) in May, but he wouldn't be crying out for this longer trip on pedigree.

Fine record here, with his four runs yielding two wins and a second for Adam West in 2024; followed that trainer to France last year but he was back to being an Epsom resident when close third on stable debut at Lingfield (AW) in April and secured first win for this yard at Windsor (also 1m2f, good to firm) one month ago; 4lb rise but he's won off higher; player.

Three wins for Adam West including one on the AW in France; encouraging return/stable debut at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) in April but didn't build on it at Newbury (1m, good) last month; others preferred.

Form & Verdict
Continues to drop down the weights and is now 8lb lower than when gaining his sole success at Southwell (7f, AW) last September when trained by Richard Hannon; unplaced all six starts since returning for this yard in March, though, and is still to prove his stamina over this far.

Two creditable shows in midwinter, including over C&D, but his sole win was back in 2023 and he ran no sort of race on this track in January; needs to shrug that off.

Not without ability in four starts as when third of nine (albeit well behind the first two) on handicap/turf debut at Yarmouth (1m, soft) four weeks ago; the winner has gone in again since and there is enough stamina on the dam's side to suggest this trip should be within range; respected.

Four modest runs over hurdles and endured a heavy defeat in handicap company; however, returns to this scene on the back of two competitive runs in 1m4f classified races on the AW, so at least he's in good nick.

Well beaten on latest Flat start in May (2m, turf) but has been placed in two AW handicaps here this year (1m4f/2m) and didn't run badly over hurdles last month; swaps cheekpieces for first-time visor; more appealing than most.
