Still 4lb higher than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last month, but has run well off this mark and higher in her two outings since; has finished first and second in his two starts under Myla Coppins; stable also runs Dogged; major player.

In fine form since returned to turf this spring, winning two races at about 1m3f (firm and good to firm); had a 7lb higher mark to contend with when outpointed back at Bath since but the winner wasn't badly treated on past Flat form and autumn hurdle wins; now 3lb lower; major player.

Brings good stats, being 2-2 since returned to turf from AW and 2-3 at Bath; justified favouritism at Windsor last week when avoiding a penalty for his C&D success under Myla Coppins; has to deal with revised mark and a 4lb penalty but still respected.

Two wins (2m) since a wind op in December, the latest by a wide margin at Newcastle 24 days ago; that was a poor race, however, and he's since finished well held back there last week; others perhaps better treated.

Three wins, two seconds and two thirds to his name from nine runs over C&D; will need a career-best off this mark, though, and there's nothing to suggest he's best caught fresh (off since January).

Form & Verdict
Had a wind operation prior to landing a gamble at Bath in April 2023 (11.5f, soft); two solid efforts followed that spring but he's been absent for 700 days and would need to be notably strong in the market to warrant an interest on his return.
