Formerly with Karl Burke for whom his first and fifth starts were the best; joined this yard for 21,000gns and made all in gritty fashion over C&D 21 days ago; 4lb higher now but they claim 3lb; should go well.

Form & Verdict
Returned to winning form under Lewis Chalkley at Newcastle (7f, Tapeta) ten days ago and has been put up by the same amount as his penalty; his other four AW wins have all come over 7f/1m here, including this race from 3lb lower in 2022; should again prove a potent threat.

Gained a fifth success at the track (over C&D) in December and backed it up with an excellent fourth of 11 over 7f here 23 days ago when faring best of those held up; that form has been franked so he's a player.

Oldest contender in this field but retains plenty of ability and justified favouritism here last time, beating a subsequent scorer and taking Southwell record to 5-14; may remain competitive.

Looked most unfortunate not to capitalise on a plummeting mark (12lb lower than when last successful) when beaten a head at Chelmsford (7f, Polytrack) eight days ago; due a 1lb rise, but yet to prove he is as effective on Tapeta.
