Form & Verdict
Perth regular, with three course wins, including from 3lb higher in this last year; plugged on from an impossible position to finish a modest third over C&D (Creadan Grace fifth) 25 days ago; he's into the twilight of his career, so others make more appeal.

J: Callum Bewley

T: Lisa Harrison

Came from off the pace to make it course win number five last month, brushing off a 6lb rise for his previous C&D win; the handicapper has taken another swipe (further 6lb rise) and this is the highest mark that he has competed from in over three years; a hat-trick is a possibility nevertheless.

Successful over 2m4f here nearly a year ago but has struggled to recapture that form since; shaped with a little more promise when fading into fourth over 2m5f at Kelso last month, but he'll need to build on that and this drop back to 2m may not play to his strengths.

Determined last-gasp Newcastle winner in February 2025 (2m1f, good to soft), and recent Hexham third on sole run since was much more promising than the 31l distance beaten might imply (rallied after late blunder); may be a case of whether this longer trip is within range now.
