Form & Verdict
Not one for the faint-hearted with one win (a 5f Wolverhampton maiden at 4-11 in 2023) and 12 seconds on his scorecard, but he was running well in January and might have just needed it at Kempton (6f) in March after a pause; off another 44 days since but this is a career-low mark and Ryan Moore rides him for the first time.

0-14 on AW but he won on his stable debut at Bath (5f, good) in September and also ran well in January when last seen, fading late on to finish third over 7f on Lingfield's Polytrack, after which he had wind surgery; drop back to this trip will suit and he has possibilities if tuned up.

First visit here but has won on Polytrack; running consistently on AW before getting up late on when switched to turf at Leicester (6f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; likely to be thereabouts but a 2lb nudge puts him back to his career-high mark and the drop back to 5f (0-4) asks a question.
