Last win came in a valuable C&D handicap in June 2024 off 88; best run for almost a year came in the same event here last time in first-time blinkers (retained), with 3l back to Playin Cool; 5lb rise for that is perhaps a tad harsh but winner ran well twice at Galway; firmly in the mix.

Form & Verdict
Both wins last year came on soft, notably late-season premier handicap here over 1m; last week's Galway third (in first-time cheekpieces, now left off) was his best of the season but this trip is unknown territory and 2lb wrong.
