Form & Verdict
Losing run up to 14, but is off a favourable mark (13lb lower than for his latest AW success) while this will be the first time he has raced down at Class 4 level on the AW (25th start); capable of making his presence felt if getting a good pace to aim at.

Easily won a 5f novice here in November 2022 but lightly raced since; creditable fifth of seven on her second start back from a long absence back here (11 days ago) and down another 2lb, but the minimum trip may suit her better.

There's a suspicion he might ideally need slow ground to produce his best form at 7f, especially here, but he began this season in good form (1m/7.5f, good to soft/good) and there was some mitigation when down the field at Newbury on penultimate start (1m, good; denied clear run); went close over C&D (good) on Friday; not ruled out.

Ended his 2025 campaign with a heavy-ground 7f double at Doncaster; started this season with good thirds at Doncaster (22-runner Spring Mile; good to soft) and Chester (7.6f, good) but needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Newbury last time; any easing of the ground would be in his favour; connections have tasted recent success in this.
