Form & Verdict
Bounced back from a disappointing handicap debut on turf with a win over C&D last October; weakened to finish well held on 1m3f York reappearance 13 days ago but it's possible this lightly raced 4yo simply needed that first outing for eight months (gelded).

Best efforts on AW, including second at Newcastle (1m2f) late last month; never dangerous when 16-1 at Sandown (1m2f, good to firm) nine days later, but today's race is much less competitive than his other two turf handicaps this term.

Second on soft-ground debut at Redcar in autumn 2024 but his best efforts since have come on AW, bouncing back from a below-par reappearance at York with a fine second in a 1m2f Newcastle Class 2 eight days ago; needs to show he can still do it on turf now.

Added to his excellent Kempton record with wins over 1m3f and 1m4f this year; another cracking effort there when chasing home the progressive Gamrai over 1m3f in March; probably worth ignoring a recent run on turf but his peak AW form (including all wins) has been achieved on Polytrack.
