Both wins have been at Chelmsford AW (1m2f) last spring; progression has stalled this year but handicap mark has reflected that and he finished third of eight at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) two weeks ago; his turn is near but not sure drop back to 1m will be in his favour.

Last five races in 2025 saw him first past the post three times and second twice; on final start he finished well on top over C&D (good to soft) but was disqualified for a banned substance; only 2lb higher today (from 2lb out of the handicap) and makes plenty of appeal if returning in a similar vein for this first start since September.
