Landed a third Flat win when taking Hamilton amateur riders' handicap (1m5f, good) around a year ago; now 2lb lower but he's been soundly beaten on both starts this year (1m4f Catterick handicap, 1m7f Hexham handicap chase) and needs to stage a revival.

Form & Verdict
Winless since 2023 but has resumed with two creditable efforts, latterly second of 11 over 1m6f at Carlisle (soft) ten days ago; the fourth gave that form a boost when scoring at Redcar on Saturday; the fact the stable is back among the winners is another positive.

Triple C&D winner who is suited by slow ground, but his last success was three years ago and he's not made an impact in his last seven runs; continues to drop down the weights but this veteran needs to raise his game back at this track.
