Looked firmly on the up in May, beating Snuggle on heavy ground at Windsor and then seeing off 20 rivals in a York sprint 19 days later (6f, good to soft); unable to make the transition into Class 2 company on his last two starts but he's a strong contender at this level; wouldn't want the ground to dry out too much.

Back on his last winning mark but a poor effort on his AW comeback a month ago (often gone well fresh) leaves him something to prove, especially as he's often pulled hard when going beyond 6f in recent times.

Had been tricky to win with in his first few seasons of racing but he's turned that around in 2024, winning three of his five starts (all 6f on good to firm); ran as well as he ever has when second at Newmarket four weeks ago (winner won again since); another 2lb higher today but can't discount in current form; raced on good to soft on debut (July 2021) but not tackled slower than good since.
