Form & Verdict
Unraced on firmer than good; 3-7 since cheekpieces went on, with all those wins over 9.4f on the Wolverhampton Tapeta; good second, however, over 1m at Newcastle (AW) nine days ago; major player if that form is transferred to turf and he was fully effective (C&D winner) on turf in 2024.

Six-time winner, the latest coming at Bath (1m, good) in April off a 2lb lower mark; had an excuse when below his best at Thirsk and bounced back to form when third of seven behind Jack Sparowe at Yarmouth (1m2f, good) 24 days ago; could go well.

He had dropped a long way in the weights prior to his Wolverhampton win on Boxing Day; added further wins at Wolverhampton (twice) and Bath (1m, good) since; similar form when fourth at Nottingham two weeks ago (1m2f, good); shouldn't be far away if the ground is deemed suitable (untried on faster than good).

Seems best when fresh and duly ran well (close second) at Bath on seasonal debut; appeared to be a disappointing favourite at Epsom later in April but that effort is excusable with the race likely coming sooner than ideal; only attempt under Tom Marquand resulted in sole win (off current mark to boot); respected on return from 11-week break.
