Progressive in 2023, winning three times (including two over C&D), and now 3lb lower than for last success; looked rusty back from a 496-day absence at Chelmsford 11 days ago but 5f wasn't optimal and he did enough to suggest he retains a good portion of his ability; still low mileage and he's not discounted.

No turf win since May 2022; has posted some decent efforts at Newmarket (6f, both tracks) this season, none better than when runner-up in June; cheekpieces are yet to elicit improvement but this appears a better option than Southwell (tenth of 14) last time; easing mark.

Form & Verdict
Unexposed 4yo; pleasing stable debut when fourth at Southwell and he took a good step forward with a snug win at Newcastle 25 days ago (6f); the subsequent wins of the second and third, as well as big efforts in defeat from the fourth and fifth, give that form serious ballast; a 4lb rise looks manageable and there should be more to come; slow starts could be an issue going forward but he's still a strong contender.
