Form & Verdict
Raised his game for two 1m4f wins this winter and ran respectably in another AW race three weeks ago after 81 days off; a close call on turf on handicap debut (1m6f, good) last November gives plenty of encouragement that he will prove as effective moving away from AW this afternoon; in the mix.

Didn't need to improve to win an uncompetitive C&D novice in the winter but did it impressively and he bettered that at Southwell (off 2lb lower than today) next time, coming from off a steady pace to get up in a busy finish; remains open to further improvement.

Similar form in two middle-distance novice events (wearing blinkers that now return; 1m4f/1m3f) before a lesser effort on the AW when tried in cheekpieces; could easily make an impact in his first handicap.

Unraced over this far but a step back up to 1m6f did the trick at Ffos Las (soft; acts on good to firm) 11 days ago for first win this term; pretty consistent but the 5lb penalty means that he probably needs better than his 2026 form.

Form & Verdict
Sole win (17 races) was a novice event in 2023; ended 2025 when bang there in two AW handicaps (2m/1m6f) and he wasn't disgraced behind Rock N Roll Pinkie on recent return, but not the percentage call.

No wins since an odds-on debut success for Karl Burke back in 2023 but he's run with credit on plenty of occasions; that wasn't the case at Chester last time, however, and on balance he's opposable despite this career-low mark.
