Only fourth off this mark at Southwell last week but this track seems to suit him ideally and he is 3-4 over C&D; not sure he is fully exposed at 7f just yet and he looks a major player.

Four wins from five starts over C&D; when returning from six months off at Southwell this month it was over 6f and under a change of tactics, leaving the impression the run would sharpen him up; big chance back down in class with a talented apprentice booked.

Losing run goes back to C&D win in March 2024 but in good form on this track for his last yard, albeit he didn't help his mark by running well from out of the weights in July and he's now 4lb higher than for a defeat here the time before; likely to go well for new stable, even so.
