Creditable fourth at Haydock (good) in sole start this term; frame possibilities off same mark and chance would get even stronger if the ground is soft (all wins on that surface).

Took advantage of a drop into Class 4 company when winning at Ayr (1m, good) in August, but hasn't repeated the form in two attempts since; needs to bounce back in a new combination of headgear.

Off a good mark he wore down a subsequent winner at Ayr (1m, good) and getting back on softer ground is a plus; raised just 3lb and he's on the shortlist; stays this far.

His losing run goes back all the way to May 2024 and he's regressed this year; however, his recent third here (1m, soft) was a step back in the right direction and this two-time course winner is another 2lb lower today; might be in the shake-up.
