Fourteen runs since last win in 2023. 40/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (1m) 16 days ago. That was his first outing for 4 months so may strip fitter now.

Verdict
4/1, respectable third of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 60 days ago, left poorly placed. First run for yard after leaving James Fanshawe. Blinkers back on. Likely to be competitive.

Verdict
Three wins from 14 runs this year, the latest at Chelmsford (7f) in October. Respectable seventh of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 11 days ago. Being eased another 2 lb can only help.
