0-18 before he won a C&D handicap (good to firm) last Monday, coming from the rear; well beaten in his hurdle races on softer than good but has not encountered it on Flat and having some recent form is respected.

Last won back in September 2024 but plenty of creditable efforts since include a third in this race (good to firm) last year; tried this headgear combination when beaten less than 2l at Windsor one month ago and she's got solid each-way prospects again.

Brings good stats, being 2-2 since returned to turf from AW and 2-3 at Bath; justified favouritism at Windsor last week when avoiding a penalty for his C&D success under Myla Coppins; has to deal with revised mark and a 4lb penalty but still respected.
