Form & Verdict
0-6 and has become disappointing after showing early promise, but he seems to lack for pace so stepping up half a mile in trip may be what he needs; worth considering.

Seventh start when off the mark in handicap at Newcastle (upped to 2m, Tapeta) early this month but a heavy defeat at Kempton 13 days ago continued his inconsistent record in handicaps.

Good effort here (1m4f) on second start but he ran poorly on a subsequent course start; very mixed in turf handicaps since but the step up to 2m on Tapeta debut at Newcastle recently saw his staying qualities come to the fore; back up 3lb but a major player if holding his form.

Well treated on the form of his two 2m wins (good to firm and good) in 2025 and although he hasn't been himself this year, the signs were better when he was second of five on this course (2m2f) two weeks ago; has another well-treated rival to contend with today but he should be competitive.

Form & Verdict
Record over C&D reads 21202, his latest effort when beaten just over a length by Zivaniya last month; a 3lb pull will help, but so would a stronger gallop and with a few others in here who have led in the past he may get it; respected.

Has won three of his last five starts, each of them steadily run races including when making all over C&D last month where he had three of these behind; 3lb rise not excessive, but whether he will enjoy the same luxury remains to be seen.
