Four-time sprint winner who acts on any ground; his last success was 13 months ago but he had a near-miss behind a course specialist at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) last week; only 1lb higher here and he should make another bold bid.

His form can be up and down but he won at Redcar (5f, soft) in May and went close at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; he didn't enjoy the best of passages when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time in a first-time visor (retained) and he could be in the shake-up.

Beaten 19 times since his last win in September 2023 and good runs have been scarce over the last year and a bit; however, it's possible he'll improve for this month's reappearance outing and he's not discounted off a handy mark in a reapplied tongue-tie and first-time blinkers.

Both wins at 5f, the latest at Catterick in May off 2lb lower; solid effort over 6f here last month but she took a backward step at Ripon four weeks ago; handles good to soft but might not want it any worse.

Can lead; on a tempting mark relative to past turf form but he's 0-7 on the AW and has been well beaten since only just failing against Arlington over C&D in January; couldn't count on refitted blinkers, replacing a visor, returning him to form.

Didn't get the breaks at Beverley (5f, good to firm) on penultimate start, but she pounced late to continue her consistent spell at Redcar (6f, good; from 3lb lower) subsequently, justifying favouritism; is well drawn in stall 12, so should have a positive role to play.
