Form & Verdict
Usually slowly away; co-second favourite for reappearance over 1m here (good) three weeks ago and he got off the mark at tenth attempt, leading over 2f out for a clearcut win in second-time cheekpieces; back up 5lb and more to prove at 1m2f but may have turned over something of a new leaf.

Front-runner; latest win was under Mason Paetel here (1m2f) early last July for Ed Dunlop; 4lb lower today but that's after he went off the boil and there's been only a partial revival for new yard this year, finishing sixth of nine here last time in the race he won last year; the last time he raced over a trip this short was May 2025.

Boasts a good record at Pontefract, where he should have notched a fourth win early last month, and today's similarly stiff 1m2f should suit; not as consistent now, unsurprisingly given his age, but is still more than capable at this level.
