No issue with conditions and he has run some solid efforts in minor AW events in recent months; no obvious excuse when fifth at Southwell on Thursday (Papa Don't Preach third); more minor money perhaps his best hope.

1lb lower than for his last win, so no doubt he's capable at this level; that was over 1m2f though and the suitability of 5f has to be taken on trust; well held over it at Catterick 17 days ago but after a seven-month break.

His last win was in December 2023 but he's run some good races this year including when runner-up in a classified at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February and a close third in Leicester handicap (1m2f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; looks interesting on that form and he's respected in this weak race.

Won when cheekpieces were first fitted and again when they were reapplied early in the year, so it's a plus point that they are back on today; not shown much since leaving Ian Williams but soft ground was no good to him last time and he'll be happier back on the AW.

Generally consistent in his time with Ian Williams when he scored three times on AW from 1m to 1m2f; second start for this yard wasn't devoid of promise at Kempton (1m4f) 17 days ago but suitability for the combination of this trip and likely ground is yet to be determined.
