Form & Verdict
Has already won three races this season, the latest off a 3lb lower mark over C&D earlier this month (soft; Arnhem 0.75l second and now 3lb better off); beaten a length when fourth at York on Friday (5f, good) and should go well again, particularly as he is 2lb lower.

Multiple wins include this race in 2023 and three over 5f in 2025 (ground ranging from good to soft); holding his form well and, although 2lb higher than a recent Musselburgh defeat by Vince L'Amour, he looks very likely to be involved back here.
