Looked to be coming to the boil when third at Southwell last month but two subsequent turf efforts have been blighted by slow starts; on a dangerous mark but he goes without any accessories and needs to get it right at the stalls.

Progressive for Charlie Fellowes last year, winning twice, and made an encouraging reappearance when sixth of 13 at Thirsk (7f, good; raced freely, lost three places inside final 1f) two weeks ago; dropping back in distance looks a sensible move and he still has untapped potential; big chance.

Front-runner who scored three times in 2024; all those wins came over 7f but he seems just as effective at 6f and he has a good record here; shaped well over an inadequate 5f at Beverley on reappearance and that run should have blown away the cobwebs; not fully exposed and should go well.
