His last win was in November 2022 but he's returned from a break with two placed efforts over C&D this autumn; nudged up 2lb for his close second last time but he pulled clear with the winner and remains very well treated on old form.

Two C&D wins in recent months, the latest a narrow defeat of Bella Kopella 16 days ago; the runner-up didn't get quite such a clear run through from the back on that occasion and he's no banker to confirm the placings.

Gained his sixth win over C&D last June and is now back off the same mark; again ran well when third of nine in an amateur riders' event here 11 days ago and the runner-up has won since; major player, especially if getting a good pace to aim at.
