Gained a first win of 2026 (in refitted cheekpieces) in 1m2f Goodwood handicap in June; not disgraced from a less-than-ideal draw with fifth of 11 at Chester (1m2f) last time; considered with cheekpieces back on here.

Best efforts from his five handicaps were on last two starts when third at Goodwood (1m1f, good to soft) and beaten a head at Newbury (1m2f, good to firm); back up 2lb but his first win should not be far away.

All five wins at 6f-1m, the latest at Doncaster in March 2024 off 20lb lower and now on a career-low mark; has dwelt at the start on his last two runs and first-time blinkers worn last time are retained; cannot discount but losing run is offputting.

Course winner at 7f who won the Spring Mile on turf in 2024; winless since but there were some flickers of life this summer before he faded at Chepstow 18 days ago; on a handy mark now and he might be more effective back on this track with first-time blinkers replacing cheekpieces.

J: Tom Marquand

T: Neil Mulholland

Has done his winning at trips between 6f and 1m; losing run goes back to March 2024 but, following a spell in the doldrums for previous yard and this one, he's been back in better form of late, doing some good late work on the AW at Kempton (1m) and Wolverhampton (about 1m1f); can be involved with Tom Marquand up for the first time

Needs a revival but fast ground wasn't ideal on his comeback run and seven career wins include this race 12 months ago off only 3lb lower; rarely looks straightforward but remains capable of winning races.
