Two C&D wins early in the year and he's now 9lb lower than for the second of them; running himself back into form this autumn and he's one to consider.

Returned from a short break to win a 0-55 7f handicap at Chelmsford last month; up 3lb in a better race but he still has handicapping scope and he's fully effective over C&D.

Form & Verdict
Won a weak maiden at Redcar last May and ran to a similar level when third under a penalty at Carlisle the following month (both 6f, good); yet to show much in handicaps though and risky starting out for a new yard after a five-month break; new tongue-tie this time.

His last win was in France in 2021 but he's dropped a long way in the weights and showed signs of a revival when third at Thirsk (7f, good to soft) two weeks ago; that was with an eyeshield added and he has claims if he can back that up.
