His sole turf win was in 2023 but he was good third at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) two weeks ago and ran to a similar level when runner-up at Southwell (6f, AW) last time; headgear is now removed but he should go well again off unchanged mark.

Handy sort; one of his three wins came over C&D early last year and he has become well handicapped, while he ran his best race since joining Adam Kirby when third of eight at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on Saturday; should be bang there with a repeat; visor returns.
