Form & Verdict
Only a length away here last time on good to firm and had previously beat opening-division contender Miss Willows here on soft; only 2lb higher than that day and, with the recent rain favourable, he should go well if ready for business after a 94-day break.

Revived by the drop to 0-50 classified events, runner-up over 7f at Wolverhampton and then C&D before seeing off six rivals in a 1m event here last week; that was a notably weak race, even for the grade, and he has a bit more on his plate as he bids to defy a penalty.

No win since 2024 and all his succes has come over 7f; that said, he is effective at this trip and arrives on the back of a pair of runner-up finishes at this level; unlikely to be found a better opportunity to register a first 1m success.

His last success was 16 months ago but that was off 6lb higher and he didn't get much luck when fifth at Carlisle in June; could be dangerous back up in trip, but he probably wouldn't want the ground to dry out (most of his wins have been on good or slower).
