Form & Verdict
Couple of sound performances on Newcastle AW this year, winning over 7f latest; back on career-high mark but he's a five-time turf scorer who has form over C&D and appears to hold solid claims.

Latest turf win in June 2025; hasn't been doing himself justice since back from a break in August but he suffereed some interference in this race 12 months ago (joint-favourite) and a revival isn't impossible.
