Acts on good to soft but unraced on soft since 2024 (trained was positive about it last September); no shortage of success beforehand but cheekpieces seem to have worked very well on last two starts when winning at York (1m2f, good) and running on well again for second at Southwell (1m4f, AW); raised another 3lb but came from an unpromising position last time and still has more to give.

10st 8lb

J: Mr David Dunsdon

T: Alan Brown

He's 8-50 on the AW and only 1-13 on turf; he was bang there over this far and off this mark at Redcar in April but he's another in here on a recovery mission after two lesser efforts.

J: Silvestre De Sousa

T: Alan Brown

Eight of his nine wins have been on the AW, including a hat-trick in February last year; pulled too hard when well beaten last time but had run two sound races ar Redcar prior to that (1m2f, good to firm); worth considering from his inside draw.

Registered the most recent of his five wins when taking an amateur riders' race at York (10.5f, good) 15 months ago; now 9lb lower but he's 0-10 since that last success and has been out of sorts this season; has bit to prove and he needs to break much better than last time.

Registered the most recent of his five wins when taking an amateur riders' race at York (10.5f, good) 14 months ago; now 8lb lower after some disappointing efforts but last time's fourth at Beverley in June could be viewed as a step back in the right direction.

Recorded his first win since landing a Group 3 in August 2023 at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) 16 days ago in a first-time tongue-tie (retained) off 3lb lower; his overall profile doesn't suggest he is likely to follow up.

In fine form last summer, scoring at Ffos Las (1m) and signing off with an excellent second over 1m2f here; set a lot to do on his return from eight months off when tenth in 7f Thirsk handicap 19 days ago; should strip sharper now and he's very much one to consider back up in trip.
