No win since December 2023 (C&D maiden); runner-up from higher marks than this on two occasions in late 2024, but low key on the Flat this year (0-4); tongue-tie returns, with cheekpieces added, since this month's Stratford fifth; better to focus elsewhere.

Market Rasen regular, with three wins, two of those in a visor over fences (2m1f); just did enough to prevail at Catterick (2m; from 2lb lower) in December and looked in need of the comeback run at Cartmel (weakened quickly) 16 days ago; don't discount.

Six-time chase winner, who won here (2m1f, good to soft) in June and was runner-up back at this track on Saturday; his hurdling defeat at Uttoxeter on penultimate run was in an unsatisfactory race (most flights omitted) and he's not ruled out back in this sphere.
