Progressive handicapper in 2024; 2025 was a struggle, including when tailed off in this race, and last month's reappearance didn't suggest he was the obvious solution here.

Three turf wins over a straight 1m for Edward Bethell as a 3yo, latterly off a 2lb lower mark, before struggling during a limited campaign last year; would need a career-best effort for his new yard (also responsible for Spaceman) back from 11 months off.
