Form & Verdict
Inconsistent and well beaten at Carlisle last month; however, he won a big-field handicap at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) in May and will be a major player if rediscovering that form; also effective on soft/good to soft.

In good form in the spring, winning at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) before near misses at Thirsk and over C&D; not at his best on his last two starts but this is an ease in class and he's a major player in his bid to win this race for a second time (successful in 2024).

Returned from two-month break with a win at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in April; good runner-up efforts at Thirsk (1m, good) and Ayr (1m, good to firm) since; the line came a couple of strides too soon for his strong finish at Ayr and the extra yardage this afternoon may help; enters calculations.

Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young up in trip this May, culminating with C&D success (good; made all) off 4lb lower five weeks ago; the Cumberland Plate proved a bridge too far here ten days ago but this is easier.

Seemingly exposed gelding who has suddenly got on a roll since going back up in trip, scoring on good ground at Hamilton (1m3f), Musselburgh (12.5f) and over C&D last month; has to defy a further 4lb rise in a better race from the widest stall but he can't be ignored attempting a four-timer.

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced and not at his best in the last two seasons, but he was a fair fifth of eight at Carlisle (1m, good) last time and slow ground could aid his cause today, with his last win coming on good to soft; continues to drop down the weights and he's an interesting contender.
