Back-to-back AW wins at the end of 2023; tongue tied, respectable third in 1m2f handicaps at Redcar (soft; Zetland Gold Cup) and Haydock (good to firm; six ran) on last two starts and had similar form three starts back on his second crack at about 1m4f, but he needs a bit extra.

Hasn't progressed in quite the manner that looked likely after back-to-back AW wins at the end of 2023 but his latest third of ten in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar (1m2f, soft) was a creditable effort; likely to be competitive if in similar form.

Returned from break with novice and handicap AW wins at about 1m2f in late 2023, but he hasn't put it together at this trip and 1m4f in three starts since (cheekpieces latest; now tongue tied); the return to 1m2f can suit but soft ground is not sure to improve matters.

Promise on turf in the first half of 2023 and he returned from five months off to win comfortably in a novice at Wolverhampton (9.4f) and handicap at Newcastle (1m2f) at the end of last year; backward steps in his two starts since, despite prominence in the betting, the latest over 1m4f on soft at Thirsk, but the ground should not be so testing here and he's not dismissed in first-time headgear.
