J: David Probert

T: Ed Dunlop

In fine form at the end of 2024, winning his last five races over 6f, the latest two here; now 23lb higher than the first of them but fair effort off 2lb lower when fourth over 7f at Lingfield ten days ago, not getting the best of runs; well drawn; return to 6f should suit; every chance.

Form & Verdict
Hasn't been with the yard long and he ran well when second of 12 at Lingfield ten days ago, keeping on steadily behind the enterprisingly-ridden winner; well backed on that occasion; likely there's a fair bit more to come.

Had dropped a long way in the weights prior to a revival over C&D three weeks ago; overcame a wide draw when following up in a 0-55 here 16 days ago; can't discount in current form but another 5lb rise against stronger opposition could find him out; stable run two here.

Struggled with the handicapper after a couple of fair runs at Southwell early in his career; beaten double-figure distances in three runs this winter but he's eligible for this grade as a result and a better effort could be forthcoming.
