Way down the weights and finally made the most of it when strong late on in a five-runner race at Beverley (1m2f, good) 11 days ago, recording his first win since 2022; back up 4lb and needs to take his revival to another level but he's not fully exposed at this trip.

Won four times in 2024 and runner-up four times in a row, over C&D (good to firm) on final occasion, before a lesser show when cheekpieces were reinstated at Yarmouth three weeks ago; loses them today and looks a strong each-way player if that brings him back to form.
