Form & Verdict
Won a maiden at Haydock (1m, good) last May but he's not really gone on from that in handicaps since; ended last season with two respectable thirds at this track (8.3f/1m2f) but he needs to find something extra after 161 days off.

Form & Verdict
Had four wins in 2024 and another four last April-October; none of those were above Class 5 but he's been placed in some Class 4 events since November and things didn't go his way at Wolverhampton last time; should get a better tow into this race and he's in the mix back on turf.

Turf (1m, good) and AW winner (7f) in 2025; ended last season with a placed effort at Lingfield and he reappeared with a good second at Kempton (1m, Polytrack) last month; looks interesting off unchanged mark and he has shaped as though this new trip should be within range.
