His last win was 11 months ago but he's a reliable type who has been placed at Chester (7.6f, good) and Chelmsford (7f, AW) in last two runs; finished behind Finbar's Lad last time but he's 5lb better off with that rival and should go well again back on turf.

Form & Verdict
Ended 2023 with a pair of slow-ground wins for Tim Easterby (7f and 6f); disappointed last year and he hasn't found his best form in three runs since joining Michael Wigham; tumbled down the weights though and the combination of new blinkers and Sean Levey taking over in the saddle (six wins and four seconds from 24 rides for the yard) offers hope of a revival.

Five wins in 2025 (all at 5f; on good, heavy and soft ground); had trip and draw excuses for first two runs this year but he'd shot his bolt over a furlong out at Goodwood last time out; might do better back on a more conventional track and the change in the weather brings him into it.
