Spent most of a long career racing at shy of 1m and didn't look to see it out in one try over this far (C&D); not as good now and can miss the break and/or pull hard, so comes with risks attached.

Won a 7f classified event here last summer and he wasn't beaten far in a 7f handicap back here on his final run in 2025; never in the hunt over C&D ten days ago (after a break); risky but not impossible he could bounce back.
