Form & Verdict
Making hay on the AW this winter, winning four C&D handicaps and taking his form to a new level with an easy win at Southwell ten days ago; 1lb well in under his penalty and his rider is excellent value for 7lb against other apprentices; the one to beat.

Garnered a remarkable seventh AW 6f victory of 2026 at Newcastle in March but off since his last of nine in 6f Pontefract handicap in April; this tough front-runner needs to hit the ground running after the layoff.

Scored by a neck at Newcastle (6f, AW) in February and he repeated the feat over that C&D in March; very low-key return when last of nine here three weeks ago and he's probably still building back up to an AW campaign.

0-21; latest of his three seconds was in February in first-time cheekpieces; slipped leaving the stalls on latest start; has since left Joey Ramsden; being visored first time didn't spark anything on penultimate outing but now it's the turn of blinkers and he has one of the better chances on ratings.
