Record of 3-33 on turf; good third at Doncaster in July (1m, good to firm) but well beaten last time (1m2f, good to firm); lacks consistency.

Both wins on AW and 0-18 on turf; a couple of Pontefract runs this spring that bring him into the reckoning and this is effectively his first run at this level since winning at Newcastle in December; should run his race.

Won this race off a 2lb higher mark in 2023 (third off 4lb higher last year); running to a consistent level in 2025 and this veteran should be in the thick of the action once more.

On the downgrade these days but his latest fourth of 13 at Musselburgh (1m, good) was a fair effort on Monday; will need more from the same mark but this stiffer test should suit.

Generally struggled this season and the years look to be catching up now; an easy 1m such as this would have been a bare minimum even in his pomp and Thats My Boy Luke may be his yard's best chance.

Form & Verdict
No immediate improvement for the switch to handicaps when sixth of eight at Haydock two weeks ago (extended 1m2f, good); didn't see much daylight between 2f out and 1f out there though and it was a higher grade; dropped 2lb and could yet rate higher.

Won at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) in June when back from a break; unplaced at odds-on over hurdles next time and also below par when back on the Flat at York (2m, good to firm) most recently; however, the first-time cheekpieces could give him a lift and there can be optimism that this trip will be within range; trainer won this last year; in calculations.

Four months off before winning a six-runner race at Doncaster (1m4f, good to firm) early last month; disappointing in a maiden hurdle (fourth at 10-11) 12 days later but remember also that he raised his game markedly when upped to 1m6f on Flat last autumn; this first 2m Flat assignment is interesting.
