Not quite at her best this year but went down fighting when close second off reduced mark at Uttoxeter (2m7f, good) 12 days ago; went back up 3lb for that but it's worth remembering his career-best performance (in May 2024) came over this C&D on good ground.

Won twice over 2m5f at Hereford in the autumn and posted career-best performance when scoring by 5l in refitted cheekpieces here (2m4f, good) in June; today's trip won't be a problem but he needs to bounce back from a duff effort six weeks ago.
