Form & Verdict
Over two years since he last ran on the AW but that made it 2-2 at Wolverhampton; won last year's Stewards' Cup and this year's Wokingham, so clearly a tip-top handicapper when on his game; found the ground too slow in last month's big handicap at Goodwood but his run back there last time is not so easily forgiven.

Made all up the stands' rail when springing a 40-1 surprise in this race in 2024; added another major handicap when dominating last year's Wokingham; failed to beat a rival in his next three starts though (including in this race) and he has been absent for 314 days; his draw gives him the chance to repeat the heroics of 2024 but this looks a tough assignment on his return.

Hit with a 9lb rise for making it 2-2 on the AW over C&D in July and that rise was surely a factor when only sixth here 24 days ago (behind Canon's House and Queen's Guard); however, he wasn't beaten all that far and Jack Callan now takes off 5lb.
