Form & Verdict
All five wins over 7f, resuming winning ways at Doncaster (good to firm) eight days ago; tends to be awkward at the start and often slowly away but that did not hinder him last time; up 2lb and should not be far away.

Scored at Doncaster (7f) in August and has returned from a ten-week break in good nick, not enjoying the rub of the green when sixth of nine over C&D 39 days ago; he can make his presence felt.

Blinkered when he hit a run of second spots at 7f and 1m last summer, including here (soft; acts on good to firm) in September; had previously looked unlucky on a couple of those occasions and the blinkers were absent when never figuring at Lingfield ten days ago; might do better with that aid now refitted and he's dangerously handicapped; watch the market.

Three 7f wins on AW elsewhere, most recently at Southwell in April; a quick return didn't pay off there next time and he was always behind when returned to turf at Leicester last month; has run well over C&D in the past, though, so he may be more himself this time.

All five wins have been on turf, the last three over this trip; only 2lb higher than for his latest success (June 2025) and he reappeared with a promising effort over 6f at Leicester (good to firm) last month; looks interesting on this step back up in trip and he's versatile ground-wise.
