Finished third behind Kyber Crystal in this race in 2024; off the mark for the year when winning at Carlisle (5f, good) last month and he still looked in top form when third at Musselburgh last week, having to wait for a gap as the race unfolded in front of him; handles good to soft but a faster surface would probably be ideal.
