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.

Ended 2024 with back-to-back C&D victories and he wasn't seen to best effect when fourth of ten to William Dewhirst here six days ago, staying on off a steady pace; likely player off same mark.

Three-time C&D winner, latterly after a five-month break off 4lb lower last August; another solid effort fresh when not far behind Lord Capulet and The Green Man four weeks ago and is 7lb better off with the winner; can miss the break but is considered.

Has a fine record over C&D including three wins, four seconds and four thirds; didn't fire here in his final run last year but he remains feasibly treated on his best form and his last win was after a break; needs watching in the market back from 139 days off.

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.

He'd taken a healthy drop in the weights during an AW spell since December and was able to take advantage at Ayr (1m, good to firm) last week; ought to have another handicap in him off this 2lb higher mark but perhaps in a less competitive race than this.

Only 1lb higher than for his Redcar win (1m2f, good to soft) in October but he's finished down the field in all four subsequent runs; wasn't beaten far over C&D 11 days ago but he's an infrequent winner and others are more persuasive.
