A dual 7f winner early in 2026 and he's holding his form well, beaten a nose when second of five in 7f Ayr handicap 25 days ago; this C&D scorer can make his presence felt.

On a long losing run but he looked an unlucky second over C&D in April and hasn't enjoyed the rub of the green since, short of room last 1f when fifth at Catterick (7f) last time; weighted to go well off a reduced mark with cheekpieces added (hood also refitted).

No turf win since 2022 but he has won three AW handicaps in the last 14 months; should be well treated but recent efforts haven't been his best; this is a drop in class so not dismissed, even though the return of cheekpieces wouldn't be an obvious plus based on previous usage.
