Added to a good Ayr record when seeing off 12 rivals over 1m2f (good) 26 days ago; a 6lb rise demands more of him (yet to win above a mark of 70) but he'll handle today's ground and has a more solid recent profile than most.

Dual C&D winner in 2024; run down late in refitted cheekpieces at Pontefract (1m2f) in June, and finished third (one place behind Mr Lincoln) over C&D next time; fast ground a plausible excuse for a lesser effort latest; runner-up in this last year.
