J: Faye McManoman

T: Michael Mullineaux

Prominent racer; three heavy defeats from four runs for his new stable in 2025 but the other run saw him spring a 40-1 surprise at Doncaster; blinkers join the eyeshields today but he drops to 6f for the first time on his 39th start.

Heavy defeats on his first two starts for this yard but he popped up at 40-1 when scrambling home at Doncaster (7f, good to firm; first-time eye-shields) three weeks ago; 3lb rise less of a concern than his trainer putting one of the reasons for that success down to quick ground.

Form & Verdict
Generally reliable 4yo who usually comes from off the pace; added to his two AW wins when beating Riot over C&D (good) last month and he had some traffic issues when in midfield in a 20-runner handicap at York (Class 4) last time; remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's respected back in calmer waters.

Off the mark at Kempton (7f) last September and largely consistent since, running creditably in first-time cheekpieces there most recently; has claims if he can find a bit extra but he's finished seventh in two previous turf runs and still has something to prove in this sphere; headgear removed.
