Form & Verdict
Down the field on stable debut at Chester (7.5f, soft) a fortnight ago but he could improve for that outing; has won on heavy ground and races off his last winning mark; not ruled out in reapplied cheekpieces (worn for first time since mid-division in AW maiden in 2020).

Has form on all surfaces; won this in 2021 and 2023, and finished a close second in 2022, but he was well beaten when favourite here 12 months ago and his form has been quite mixed this year; he's a possible reviver back in this race but he hasn't justified shortish prices on last two starts, including over C&D, which leaves questions to answer.
