Ran as if something amiss last time, folding tamely, but his two previous runs this year certainly give him a chance; just 2lb higher than when making most to win at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) in June; not ruled out.

His first win came over 7f (soft) but better at 1m now, getting up late to win on Wolverhampton AW when making his yard debut in January and finding only a subsequent winner too good at Ascot last month; out of sorts at Redcar since though and reverts to 7f with something to prove.

Strong traveller who sometimes flatters to deceive; close second to a recent Glorious Goodwood winner on latest turf start, at Doncaster (1m, good to firm) in June, and also ran well on AW last month but has modest 2-32 strike-rate and others appeal more for win purposes; usually wears blinkers or cheekpieces but goes only in a first-time tongue-tie here.

In good form in the spring, winning at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) before near misses at Thirsk and over C&D; not at his best on his last two starts but this is an ease in class and he's a major player in his bid to win this race for a second time (successful in 2024).

Loves Redcar and he notched win number four here when storming clear over this distance (good to soft; at least as effective on good to firm) in June; well handled by Jack Nicholls that day and the pair were not disgraced at Pontefract next time; up 6lb but he's still well treated on the pick of last year's form; strong contender.
