Won on the nod at Doncaster (good to firm) last time, looking suited by the step up to 7f and surging back to form; unexposed over this trip and may remain competitive, provided he takes to first-time cheekpieces (faced difficult task when once in blinkers).

Form & Verdict
Lightly raced 6yo who hasn't won on turf since May 2024, when dead-heating at Thirsk (7f, good to firm); down the field in two decent handicaps this season but beaten less than 6l on each occasion and takes a significant drop in grade; has to be considered.

Four-time winner, who acts on good to firm and good to soft; 0-9 since his AW win last December, but he's run plenty of good races this season including when fourth at Newbury (7f) last time; continues to edge down the weights and he shouldn't be far away.

Down the field in hot 3yo handicap over C&D (good to soft) at the Ebor meeting and it will be a concern if slow ground prevails again; however, he drops back down in grade today and he's well handicapped on the pick of his course form; not discounted.

Goes very well here and scored over C&D last May; off nine months, yet to hit form in a pair of 7f handicaps at Doncaster and Newmarket this summer but no surprise to see him take a sizeable step forward back here off a reduced mark, especially if the market vibes are positive.
