Beaten 8l or more in first five runs but he got much closer to the target when dropped to 5f at Wolverhampton (2l fourth) last month; 1lb lower here and has claims if he can build on that back on turf.

Twice a winner in 2025, once here; reappeared with a close sixth at this track last month and it was his first visit to Pontefract when below par three weeks ago; can go well.

A two-time 5f scorer in 2025; not disgraced after eight months off when sixth of 13 in 5f Bath handicap 16 days ago; one to consider with that run under his belt.

Record of 0-10 but she perked up with a creditable third at a big price at Brighton (5.3f, good to firm) last Wednesday; this is a stiffer test back at this track but she could be in the mix again.

Form & Verdict
Unplaced in first nine starts but he found improvement in new combination of equipment when landing a gamble on his Southwell reappearance (5f, AW) last month; up 7lb but that was a convincing win from off the pace and this step back up in trip looks a positive; respected back on turf.

Landed a gamble over C&D 12 months ago (in this combination of accessories for the first time); ended 2025 quietly and he was well beaten on last month's return to action (no accessories); has plenty to prove but it wouldn't be a total bolt from the blue were he to revive.

Sole victory came first time up last season, back from a similar break, so has that in his favour; lost his way in 2025, however, and the usual hood and tongue-tie are both missing.
