All his early races at up to 7f but has found the step up to 1m very much to his liking on last two starts, finding plenty in the closing stages over this C&D (good to firm) and then under a penalty at Yarmouth (good to soft); unpenalised today and 2lb lower; good chance of the hat-trick.

No win since August 2024; ran well for minor honours on his first three (of four) visits to Doncaster, a close third in this race last year; 8lb lower today but he's not been disgraced this year (repeatedly short of room last time) and makes each-way appeal.

C&D winner who hasn't been out of the frame in five visits here; all four starts have been at Musselburgh this term, running creditably on two occasions; was a handful when he last raced off this mark back in 2023 and he ought to make his presence felt on ground that will be no issue.
