Form & Verdict
Thriving at present and he made it three successes from his last four runs when landing C&D handicap six days ago; saddles a 5lb penalty here but he's not taken lightly in his current mood.

Not seen on turf since 2024 but is well treated on best Newcastle AW form and has won over this C&D; admittedly needs to stage a revival judged on 2026 efforts.

No win since June 2024; now two grades and 14lb lower; placed at Redcar (7f, good) in October but disappointing since, including in cheekpieces at Southwell (7f) five weeks ago; headgear is tweaked again (visor) seeking the solution.

Just held on to score over C&D (good to firm) in May and looked unlucky at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) two starts ago (persistently denied clear run) but has become rather inconsistent and it's hard to predict whether the first-time cheekpieces will get the best out out him.

Justified favouritism at Redcar (1m2f; good to firm) before following up at Doncaster (1m, good to soft); carries 5lb extra for latest win (and now rated above this 0-55 grade); Cian Horgan's claim reduces the weight burden; player if able to run to similar level back on AW (0-11).
