Form & Verdict
Creditable show on Newcastle AW latest following a break, considering best form is on turf; generally versatile but this stiff C&D suited when he shook off his rivals in October (good to soft; has won on good to firm) on sole course start; has share of weight but should go well.

Close third of 26 off this mark at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to firm) in July and he's better than he showed on his two starts since (6f/7f, good to soft/soft); however, he needs to bounce back today and his last four wins have come over 6f.

Form & Verdict
Winless since two 6f successes at Newmarket (good) in August 2024 but he ran some good races in defeat last year and is quite temptingly treated on debut for an in-form yard; has often gone well on his seasonal return and may well do so again.
