Form & Verdict
Has mixed record this season but he's a versatile type who bounced back with a good third over C&D (good) last month; didn't get much luck after a slow start in that race and he's a big player if he can back that up; regular tongue-tie removed.

Won comfortably after travelling strongly at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month but he's not hit the same level in two subsequent runs; ran respectably back at Leicester last time but he needs to find more to get back on the scoresheet.

Last five wins have been over 5f, the most recent at Wolverhampton (AW) in December; below his best in four starts since and now returns to turf for the first time since October 2024 following a 120-day break; best form on grass has been on soft/heavy.

Form & Verdict
Not easy to predict and was never involved here (5.6f, soft) last Monday but he finished well from off the pace when beating Storm Venture over C&D (heavy) on his penultimate run; has possibilities if he can get back near that level and this is a drop back in grade.
