Making good progress in 7f handicaps this year, beating 18 rivals at York in May and then picking up best to win at Haydock 12 days ago (Boardman second); this is tougher but on the up; well held in one AW run but it was after six months off.

No longer the force of old and has not won since spring 2023 but kept on for very respectable fifth from wide stall at Chester (7f, good to soft) on Sunday and remains on a good mark; no surprise if he features.

Only turf success was over 6f on good to soft on debut in 2020; mainly out of form in a light campaign in 2023; best run for a while when an unlucky fourth last time at Haydock (7f, good to firm; squeezed for room at a vital stage); interesting in first-time cheekpieces (has worn a visor).
