Campaigned mostly at Hamilton for current stable, winning in May and creditable second to Sanafi Zabeel (runs in first division) last month; well held in last week's Leger Legends at Doncaster but it's an effort which might be worth forgiving after he pulled too hard; Hector Crouch is 1-1 for the stable this year.

Patchy for Richard Fahey last year and has reverted to type for his new yard this time, having kicked off with a C&D win off 2lb lower in May; does like it here though, and this a bit easier, having been said to have hung right at Chester last time.

Novice winner on soft and has gone close in a 7f handicap on good to soft; well beaten upped to 1m at Leicester on final run in October but that was too bad to be true; has dipped to a dangerous mark and, at this trip, may have improvement lurking.

Recorded his first handicap success when landing a 7f event a Musselburgh in June; only fourth at Carlisle 17 days ago but that doesn't tell the whole tale as he anticipated the start and ended up losing a lot of ground as a consequence; hadn't had any issues at the start before that and he is treated as still being in top form; good chance.

Form & Verdict
One of his seven wins here came in this race two seasons ago; had the benefit of a run that year and record after this sort of break isn't overly encouraging; however, his course record is too good to ignore, he's on a competitive mark and goes on all ground.

An infrequent winner but he's run many good races on this track to go with his 7f win in late 2024; another sound effort when going close over this C&D on Wednesday and he shouldn't be far away.

Went close more than once for Harry Charlton but left that yard an eight-race maiden and comfortably held in 7f/1m1f handicaps for current one; the return of cheekpieces might not be a bad thing (figures of 23 when tried previously) but there are safer options.

All three of his wins have come at Ayr (7f) in Class 5 company; he is effective elsewhere though and his latest Musselburgh fifth can be upgraded a touch as he saw little daylight in the home straight; others preferred for win purposes all the same.
