Had only won once since the autumn of 2023 until he fired off a hat-trick under Lauren Young up in trip this May, culminating with C&D success (good; made all) off 4lb lower five weeks ago; the Cumberland Plate proved a bridge too far here ten days ago but this is easier.

Seemingly exposed gelding who has suddenly got on a roll since going back up in trip, scoring on good ground at Hamilton (1m3f), Musselburgh (12.5f) and over C&D last month; has to defy a further 4lb rise in a better race from the widest stall but he can't be ignored attempting a four-timer.
