Returns to his usual trip after finding 7.5f too short last time; however, perhaps ideally suited by Beverley, having gained both wins there; visits Doncaster for the first time.

The latest of his 12 wins (Flat/hurdles) came at Catterick (1m6f, good) last October when ridden by Jake Dickson; flattered by proximity to eased-down winner at Ripon (2m, soft) ten days ago, but that rival has won twice again since and this 10yo may step forward from that first run since January.

Not found her best form in 2026 but she's down in the weights and she came good with a pair of Ayr wins on slow ground last autumn; will be more appealing when back down in grade, though.
