Two 6f wins on AW in January and he also ran well over 7f in March; no worthwhile turf form so far, however, and there are risks attached back from three months off.

Form & Verdict
Veteran who collected three wins in 2024, the latest over 5f here in August; below form on last couple of outings but now 3lb lower than when second over C&D in October, and has a good rapport with regular partner Alicia Perkins; can't be ruled out.

Completed a Brighton hat-trick (6f/7f, good/good to firm) in the spring but has steadily regressed here since, always behind over 1m most recently; sizeable turnaround is required.

Won three successive 6f/7f handicaps here in the spring and subsequent defeats suggest he might be high in the weights; perhaps this step up to 1m can help, having finished second on his only previous run over this far well over a year ago.

Won three on the spin (6f-7f) here in the spring, all when Jack Doughty was still claiming 3lb, and went up 9lb in the weights; possible the handicapper has caught up now on the evidence of his latest C&D fourth a month ago and needs more.
