Drew nicely clear to win off a basement mark here (1m) last month and has made the frame twice since (1m/8.6f) but latest 2lb nudge doesn't leave him with much margin for error, and he probably needs a strong pace to aim at over this trip.

Won over this trip in September 2023 for David Evans but he was beaten out of sight on two occasions in 2024 (one of them over hurdles); has changed stables again since and now reappears in a different combination of headgear; probably best watched unless he's strong in the market.
