Looking very progressive and impressed in how he came through to beat a subsequent winner at Hexham one month ago on his first try over this far (good ground); could well take the 7lb rise in his stride.

Form & Verdict
Game winner here (2m4f; from 2lb lower) in April; excuse next time (saddle slipped) but less competitive at Kelso (2m5f, good; fifth, beaten 10l) a fortnight ago; needs to bounce back against rivals with a fair amount of upside.

Very useful at his peak, and his last win came from a mark 13lb higher than today's at Uttoxeter (3m, good) in July 2024; hampered and unseated rider when last seen at Newcastle six months ago; difficult to assess how much ability remains at the age of 13.

Form & Verdict
Rediscovered a spark, scrambling home over C&D (good; 12-1) 18 days ago; a 4lb rise takes him back to a triple-figure mark (traditionally struggles from that position) but he isn't one to write off, with this track tending to bring out the best in him.
