Three-time winner, most recently at Brighton last May off a 2lb lower mark than today's; has posted some good efforts on the AW this year, including when runner-up at Wolverhampton (8.5f, AW) last month, but she can be slowly away so she needs things to drop tight.

Form & Verdict
Enjoyed a purple patch in the spring of 2023 but he was absent for 521 days prior to returning to action last October; well beaten on his first four runs back from the absence but he dropped 14lb in the weights as a result and rewarded market support with an easy win at this level at Lingfield on Sunday; has a 4lb penalty to shoulder but a promising apprentice takes over in the saddle and he is of obvious interest.
