Having a quiet 2024 but he's much lower in the weights than when a close second on his latest C&D start in December and he didn't look totally out of sorts over an inadequate 7f at Kempton recently; not ruled out.

This season's form has been mixed and he comes with a risk attached having been very slowly away at Ripon (1m2f, good to firm) three weeks ago; however, in the circumstances he did well to finish sixth of eight and he's on a handy mark; could have a major say if away on terms this time.

Dual course (1m1f/1m2f), who scored off 1lb higher on AW at Southwell (1m3f) in April; runner-up twice since then but he's been well held in last two runs and needs to get back near best; handles most ground but his turf wins have come on good/good to firm.
