Acts on good to firm and soft ground; won at Thirsk (6f, good) last spring and recorded his second AW win on his Southwell reappearance last month; up 4lb but he still looks feasibly treated and should get a good tow into this race; key player.

Ended 2025 with a whimper but he has slipped back down the weights as a consequence; won on last year's reappearance and also ran a fine race after a 175-day layoff in 2024 so unlikely to be lacking in fitness; one to consider.
