Form & Verdict
Below-par fourth on recent stable debut at Market Rasen and he needs a bigger run today; however, he ran okay at the end of last year on his final two starts for Fergal O'Brien and a case can be made on that form.

Has been resurgent after wind surgery and he's won at Catterick (2m3f, soft/good to soft) in the last two of his three runs for current yard; up another 5lb but he scored with some authority last time and remains well treated on old form; key player.

In good form for Alison Thorpe in early part of last season, notably when winning at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good); yet fully to convince stamina-wise at around 3m and has fitness to prove on this stable debut (same owners) but Sean Bowen (who has won on him before) is booked; swaps visor for first-time blinkers.

Represents in-form yard and last month's 10l sixth of eight at Doncaster (2m, good to soft) was pretty encouraging as it was his first outing since March 2023; however, tailed off back at Doncaster (2m3f, good to soft) last Friday and it's hard to be confident in his claims just seven days on.
