Front-runner who won at Newcastle (6f, Tapeta) late last year and scored twice over this trip on turf in the spring, but a 5lb rise seemed to find him out in his hat-trick bid at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) last time; off 99 days since and will need to hit the ground running on Polytrack debut.

Ended 2025 with a pair of Class 6 wins on AW (7f/6f); his progress has continued back on turf, making all in 6f handicaps at Redcar and Doncaster; another 5lb higher today and also steps up into a Class 4 but he is still more appealing than many.
