Back to winning ways with a clearcut success at Hamilton (8.3f, soft) ten days ago; escapes a penalty and today's 2lb higher mark is not beyond him (4lb well in); modest strike-rate on AW but fully effective over C&D.

Quirky gelding who didn't look in love with the first-time hood (retained) when beaten 7.5l into second at Ripon, though the soft ground may also have been a factor; the ability is there to go close.

Three course wins last summer, at 1m and 7f (all on good); not in quite the same form this year, despite finishing second of five to stablemate Monhammer over C&D in August, and it would have been encouraging to see her at least repeat that run back here since; has some work to do.

Form & Verdict
Still a maiden but went mighty close when beaten a short head at Ayr (1m, good) last month; had first-time cheekpieces added to hood and raced freely when below par at Carlisle (1m, good) since; all headgear retained here and tongue-tie also back; should find a race when things all fall into place.

1-17 here, the win coming off this mark over this trip in June last year; some fair efforts on turf this season and 1m2f would have been too far on his return to this venue a fortnight ago, but others are still more solid; stable also runs Wheres The Crumpet.

Course winner (1m, June 2023); consistent over 7f-1m1f lately, shaping as if in need of a greater stamina test when third over 7f at Catterick (soft); head carriage isn't always alluring, but he is worth another go over 1m2f; stablemate of Wheres The Crumpet.
