Form & Verdict

Ended 2024 in fine form, winning in the mud at Leicester (1m) and over C&D; that last success was off 4lb higher but he's had only three runs this season and has struggled in all of them; now switches back to turf but he needs a big turnaround; yard also runs two others.

Form & Verdict

Losing run is mounting up but he's well treated on old form and was only beaten 2l at Ayr (1m, soft) on Tuesday; hard to rule out another good run but this is a quick turnaround and that latest form was in a Class 5.

Added to his five turf wins when coming from rear to score in good style at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) 12 days ago; back up 5lb in the weights but he remains well handicapped on his best form last season and he should get a good tow into this race; in the mix.
