Hinted at possible return to form when fourth at Stratford (2m6f, good to firm) last month and is now 2lb lower than for last summer's win over that C&D but he was soundly beaten at Market Rasen (2m4f) a fortnight ago and now has questions to answer again.

Not seen over fences since two disappointing attempts in spring 2024 but in good form over hurdles, notably when winning at Hexham (2m7f, good) in May; reverts to chasing on a lower mark; player if able to find some fluency.

Rediscovered a spark, scrambling home over C&D (good; 12-1) 18 days ago; a 4lb rise takes him back to a triple-figure mark (traditionally struggles from that position) but he isn't one to write off, with this track tending to bring out the best in him.
