6f win at Pontefract in June; up and down since but his latest Pontefract third came in a Class 3 event; it has been a long time since his last 7f run but this race might not be a searching test and it is a move that could pay off.

Form & Verdict
Acts on good to firm and soft ground; not easy to predict and he didn't shine over C&D last time but he's had a win and near-miss here in two of his five runs this season; still looks on a workable mark and has claims if he can get back near best.

In the frame on eight of his 12 course visits but only two of the last five, and about 3l behind Quercus when fifth in this race last year (good to firm; beaten favourite); can't fight the rider as much as he did behind Miss Rainbow on last month's return from a small break.

Defied this mark at Catterick (6f, good) last April but that is his sole win since 2021; may have needed his reappearance run at Catterick in April but he's had another break since then and his AW record stands at 0-12; looks opposable back in this sphere.
