Not the easiest but he does like this track (all five wins have come over C&D) and he again ran well when beaten half a length by Educate here six weeks ago; 2lb better off and this race may be more truly run which should suit him; respected.

Won his first two starts in blinkers in early summer (also won here in the spring) before a couple of lesser efforts; the headgear is removed back from six weeks off and he'll need to bounce back.

Now 5lb lower than winning winning at Hereford (2m, good) in March 2025 but, following a break, could not justify favouritism when midfield at Stratford (2m2f; good; first run after wind op) last month; sports refitted cheekpieces and tries a new trip here; needs that recent run to have done him good.
