Point and dual bumper winner who was a shade of odds-on when leading late on in a big-field maiden at Warwick in November 2024 (good to soft; won on soft); has a long absence to overcome and a hefty weight for his handicap debut, but trainer has spoken well of him.

Weakened quickly when tailed off in first-time cheekpieces at Market Rasen (2m, good) in July; however, he was in good form previously (2m-2m4f, good) and drops back down in grade today; the hood (in which he's gained his last two wins) replaces the cheekpieces; not ruled out.
