Form & Verdict
Has taken well to Tapeta this winter, second at Newcastle on his return from an absence (pulled hard) before easily seeing off Legal Reform (runs in the 6.30) over C&D in January; came up short off this mark here four weeks ago, weakening in the final furlong, but that was still a solid run in what was a hot Class 2; big player back in these calmer waters.

Reappeared at York (7f, good) in June following a wind op and he beat 19 rivals to win; very much of interest based on that performance but he was well beaten back at York (7f, good to firm) last time; cheekpieces go on.

Ended 2025 quietly but that resulted in a drop in the weights and he bounced back to form when pipping Lir Speciale over C&D four weeks ago; that was his first run after a wind operation and he retains handicapping scope despite a 3lb rise; drawn widest.

Knocking at the door for his new yard this year, third at Wolverhampton before chasing home Legal Reform (runs in the first division) over C&D; another creditable effort at Lingfield last time; each-way shout.

The most recent of his six wins came at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April 2025 off a mark 3lb higher than today's but he has posted some good efforts since; however, he was below his best at Salisbury 19 days ago and needs to bounce back with cheekpieces back on.

Slowly away on his last three starts; runner-up over 6f here in April following a break; hasn't built on that on turf on his two starts since (6f) but he made late headway at Chester last time and the return to 7f may be a good move; could be involved back here.
