Won on all-weather over 1½m in February. Struggled for form on turf since until a good second of 8 in handicap over C&D 15 days ago, enjoying the run of things in front. Not out of things off the sam…

Free-going front runner who gained a fourth success this season over 7f here in May. Came in last of 9 here 14 days ago though having dived right leaving stalls. Has his stamina to prove.

Eleven runs since his last win in 2023 and off for over 2 years after finishing last in the 2024 Chester Plate. Can only be watched unless strong in the betting after such a long absence.
