Front-runner who couldn't adopt those tactics after a wide trip on the AW last time; had resumed better than ever and off same mark as for his near miss at Windsor (5f, good to firm).

Front-runner who's resumed better than ever, backing up his Bath win with a Windsor near-miss off 1lb lower (inclined to hang left); might have been better drawn but can't be discounted for a yard that's won with four of its last five runners.

Form & Verdict
Well back in a Newbury sales race in July; reliable in maidens and sellers at 5f-6f previously and there shouldn't be a problem with this stiff 5f; opening mark isn't generous but this isn't a strong race; involved.

Hinted at ability on second start, at Leicester, and he returned there for handicap debut (5f, good to firm) where his front-running effort petered out; needs to improve and this is another stiff track.

Scored three times (including over C&D) in 2025; back to his best in refitted blinkers with head second of nine in 5f Chepstow handicap a week ago; up 3lb but holds very good claims with talented 3lb claimer Jack Callan up.

Form & Verdict
Looked the type to improve for handicaps and made favourite on Chelmsford AW (5f) this month, but was hampered twice and never competitive; should be suited by this stiff test at the trip and can do better.
