Form & Verdict
Won a 7f Redcar handicap (good) last year when 4lb lower; returned from a lengthy absence to show he retains his ability when third at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) eight days ago; drops 1lb; brother to a 1m2f winner, so this further step up in trip could prove positive.

Sole appearance here resulted in breakthrough win over this trip back in 2023; no subsequent wins until he rewarded good support at Ripon (1m) last May then went back-to-back over that C&D (also good) the following month; proved a disappointing favourite back at Ripon when last seen 443 days ago; heed the market signals on this comeback/stable debut.

His sole win was 13 months ago but he's placed in last three runs and his second at Catterick (1m4f) last time was behind a rival who was completing a hat-trick; now drops back to 1m but he's versatile trip-wise and is effective on Tapeta; shortlisted.
