The winner of four of his last five starts and his latest Newcastle AW success (5f) represented a career-best display but a 5lb rise in a stronger race may find him out.

Completed a sprint hat-trick last summer and he has repeated the trick this time around, with wins at Ayr, Beverley and Thirsk; his winning spell came to and end over C&D last month but he wasn't beaten far in that Class 4 event and he's still unexposed on AW; dangerous dropped back in grade.

Has led; 0-9 but he only just failed to hang on in an AW handicap (6f) on final 2yo start and he's run two good races over 7f (good and soft) for new connections this year; very likely to go well back over 6f.

Finished third behind Kyber Crystal in this race in 2024; off the mark for the year when winning at Carlisle (5f, good) last month and he still looked in top form when third at Musselburgh last week, having to wait for a gap as the race unfolded in front of him; handles good to soft but a faster surface would probably be ideal.
