Form & Verdict

Prominent-racer who returned to form when second at Ripon (6f, good to firm) last month and good fourth of 18 at York (6f, good to soft) since; it's a long time since he ran over this far but he won over C&D in 2022 and can be bang there if still possessing the necessary stamina.

Fully 15lb lower than when winning over C&D (good to firm) last June; reappeared with good second at Doncaster (6f, soft) in April and his midfield finish over C&D ten days ago was a step back in the right direction, but he needs another this afternoon.

Both wins at 6f (good to soft and good to firm) but two forays over 1m, albeit well-held runner-up to Lady Flora over C&D, then never involved at Sandown, suggest he probably stays this far; likely to need a weak handicap to win off this mark, though.

Struggled on his three starts in the spring and sold out of Tom Dascombe's yard for 7,500gns in July; however, perhaps he'll have been perked up by a change of scenery and he's well treated on last year's 2yo form.

On a competitive mark on last season's form at up to 1m and this drop back in trip may help; however, he's been well beaten on both runs this term, more recently at Doncaster (1m4f, first encounter with soft ground), and needs to turn things around; a first-time visor replaces cheekpieces.

Kept on for promising third in Salisbury novice (7f, good to firm) in June on final outing for Harry Charlton; soundly beaten on recent stable debut at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) but could improve for that run and also today's drop back in distance; unraced on slow ground; not discounted.
