Form & Verdict
Not yet added to his debut win in May 2024 but there have been some cracking efforts in defeat in big-field York handicaps this summer; well short of that level at Ripon (1m, good) three weeks ago but he is on a dangerous mark and conditions shouldn't be an issue.

Chasing a hat-trick after 7f wins at Thirsk (good to soft) and Chester (heavy) last month; still of interest from a handicapping perspective but the drop in trip is a slight concern.

His 2025 campaign, where he won six times in the first half of the year, was always going to be a tough act to follow; 0-9 this time round but there have been some fine runs along the way; drops back into Class 5 company this time and a big run looks likely.

Back to form with a bang to collar one with a good AW record over 7f here on Monday; there was over 3l back to the third in that 13-runner contest so he could be fairly treated under a 5lb penalty if coping with the quick turnaround; just as effective at 1m.
