He's had a very productive year with five wins in the bag and yet still on a realistic mark; however, his latest run wasn't his best and he has never won over this far.

Form & Verdict
Three-time winner on the AW in 2025 when previously trained by this yard and returned to some form on his first start since rejoining this stable at Southwell (7f, AW) in May, running on well for second; left the impression he's still in that form at Lingfield 28 days ago but turf is a slight question mark.

All three wins in handicaps when making all, including when visored for the first time at Wolverhampton (7f) nine days ago; escapes a penalty for that success (due a 2lb rise) and he makes the shortlist, albeit he isn't sure to have things his own way in front.
