1-26, the success over three years ago; drop back in trip (and refitted cheekpieces) coincided with overdue return to form, when a closing third to Dinah Myte (Barleybrown second) over C&D 23 days ago; his odds will be shorter now, but whether he'll back it up is questionable.

1-25, that win for the Johnstons in an Ayr maiden (1m) in May 2023; in freefall since joining this trainer (0-7), weakening tamely after taking a keen hold in an added visor at Southwell (1m3f; last of ten) nine weeks ago, the drop back in trip needs to make a big difference.

Yet to master the start; it was seventh-time lucky over 1m here this month and quickly bounced back from a soft-ground disappointment to be third under same conditions as win last week; extra furlong here gives him more time to catch up; not ruled out.
