Already a four-time 7f/1m winner in 2024 and he didn't enjoy the rub of the green when eighth at Carlisle (7f) 19 days ago, when set too much to do; it would come as no surprise to see him on the premises once more.

Four-time AW scorer, most recently in December (below form later that month); however, starts his 2025 campaign on a difficult mark and has never won when fresh.

Has record 121 for current yard, with the wins coming over 1m at Brighton and the second-place finish a very narrow defeat on Tapeta at Southwell; has a penalty for her success last Tuesday but she remains well treated on old form and is a major player again.

Form & Verdict
Returned from 66-day break to win at Newcastle (1m; stable debut) in December and is back from the same layoff today; one to consider, despite a below-par effort last time.
