Form & Verdict
On a hat-trick after winning over 1m2f at Doncaster before answering the stamina question upped to 1m3f on Kempton AW in August; a further 4lb rise is unlikely to rein him in if handling this surface after a break.

Ended his 2024 campaign with a hat-trick, scoring narrowly at Southwell (1m2f, AW) the final time and taking overall record to 4-11; this progressive sort is effective on turf and one to consider.

Ten-time AW winner who is 5lb lower than when winning at Southwell (1m4f, AW) last November; however, this is his first run since January and he was well beaten at Ascot in May 2024 on his last encounter with turf; 0-5 on grass and others have less to prove.

Starts slowly; heavy ground and an inadequate 1m excuse recent defeats; in fine form earlier, sealing a hat-trick with C&D win in course record time in August; could well get the strong pace he needs and produce another career-best off 5lb higher.

Form & Verdict
Acts well on Polytrack, unraced on Tapeta; improved form when stymied by Fantasy Believer's late burst at Newmarket (1m2f) in July 2023 and he's favoured by these weights; had just two runs since but looked to retain plenty of ability on Kempton AW recently; contender if handling the surface.
