The most recent of his six wins came at Lingfield (7f, AW) in April 2025 off a mark 3lb higher than today's but he has posted some good efforts since; however, he was below his best at Salisbury 19 days ago and needs to bounce back with cheekpieces back on.

A three-time 7f/7.5f scorer in 2025 who resumed winning ways in a change of headgear in 6f Southwell handicap 20 days ago; up 2lb but overcame drop back in trip and a troubled passage there so this C&D scorer is a player.
