Useful on the Flat in his prime; no win since 2022, including 0-8 record over hurdles and he was well below form in that sphere on last two starts, the latest for new yard. |

Better strike-rate on AW than on turf; hasn't won on grass since 2019 but usually runs in better races; not disgraced at Newmarket and Doncaster the last twice; possibilities off a handy mark back down in class.

Having a great season, winning six times (1m6f-2m2f, various ground) and progressing well; form dipped last time but was possibly feeling the effects of a busy spell; rested 54 days since; may well bounce back.

Close third over similar trip at Market Rasen in May, after a break, but not so good twice since; pulled up in cheekpieces latest and blinkers now tried; on a good mark now but more to prove than some of these. |

Scored at Newcastle (12.5f, AW) last week, adding to his 2yo win at Newmarket (1m1f, heavy); dam's side offers hope that he'll stay this new trip; goes up in grade under a penalty but gets loads of weight from his elders; may be capable of further progress; enters calculations.
