Just 1-22 but on the plus side that win came over C&D (good; 40-1) last August, when wearing first-time cheekpieces; three AW runs since the turn of the year temper confidence.

Won this race in 2022 and finished runner-up in two of three subsequent runnings; looked to be running into form again when fourth of eight at Catterick (7f, good to firm) 24 days ago and a very good run is likely.

Long in the tooth now and does not have much margin for error off current mark, but was placed twice on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (6f) this spring and will be suited by today's return to turf (has gained all eight wins on grass).

Has done all his winning on Tapeta at Wolverhampton and over shorter distances; hasn't offered all that much following wind surgery and this is a belated first try beyond 6f; the hood is also new.

No win since June 2022 (that was over C&D) but runner-up on four occasions, including when beaten by a nose here (7.5f) in July; recent Catterick form ties in closely with Elettaria and perhaps the newly applied visor can assist; no back number.
