Ended a long losing run when scoring off 1lb higher at Ripon (6f) last July but he struggled in his final two runs last year; still unexposed on AW but he's hard to predict and has something to prove after six months off.

Runner-up in the Group 2 Gimcrack Stakes as a 2yo; nothing like so good now but that wasn't a barrier to success in the corresponding event 12 months ago; 7lb lower this time around and he didn't run badly at Thirsk 17 days ago; headgear left off today.

Form & Verdict
Recorded his fourth AW win when scoring at Chelmsford (6f) in December; three placed runs followed and he had a tough task behind a resurgent rival who put in a dominant display at Chelmsford last time; still on a workable mark and has possibilities if this sets up for his closing style.

Authoritative win over C&D on first start for Chris Gordon last May and plenty went wrong when bidding to win that race again two starts ago (surely would have been heavily involved with a clear run); beaten into second at even-money on AW next time but the winner rather stole it; shortlisted.

In fine form at 6f on the AW of late, winning at Southwell and Newcastle; has a better strike-rate on sand than turf (1-17) but he was running to a similar level on grass as AW in 2025 and it may be unwise to presume he's a one-surface wonder; respected.
