Last win was over C&D in May 2024 off 2lb higher mark; mainly kept to AW since and can start slowly; would hold claims if back on song.

Form & Verdict
Ended a long losing run when routing seven rivals in a 1m 0-55 handicap at Yarmouth last week; a literal interpretation of that form gives him strong claims, despite a 5lb penalty, but it may be prudent to take a cautious view; held by Coconut Bay on a C&D run in May.

Form & Verdict
Patchy in 2023 but has found some consistency this time around, winning at Nottingham last month (8.5f, good to firm) and just missing out at Hamilton one week later; backward step last time but was messed about early and ended up further back than she had been for the two good runs; yet to shine on AW but that could just be a coincidence.
