Form & Verdict
Last won in September 2022 but he was a good third to Crystal Casque and Double Time here 12 months ago (good) and after slipping down the weights he was better than the bare result at Beverley recently; any rain would help; of interest with cheekpieces refitted.

The big problem is that he's not won since 2022 but he was beaten only a neck off this mark at Ascot (1m, soft) three starts back, ran respectably both since and this does not look a strong race.
