Third of eight in a C&D maiden on sole 2yo start last August; absent until reappearing at Doncaster four weeks ago (gelded after debut), a race where he failed to get home having taken a strong hold; slower ground to deal with today; improvement essential.

He has been expensive to follow thus far but he has been consistent in terms of his RPR and this is easier than the Newmarket handicap he contested three weeks ago; cheekpieces experiment quickly aborted; well drawn and he holds strong claims.

Four of his six wins have come over C&D, including the corresponding race in 2024; drew a blank in 2025 but retains ability and he has run some solid races in defeat this year too, keeping on for fourth at Beverley 18 days ago; drops in class but he has the widest stall to contend with.

Over two years since the second of his two wins; lurks on a dangerous mark though and his two runs this year have seen him finish within 3l of the winner; has his first run at Pontefract but he is effective around a left-hand turn; can't rule out from a handy draw.

0-6 but he has recorded an RPR of 84 or more in each of his last five starts; beaten at odds-on at Doncaster on his reappearance (1m4f, good to firm) four weeks ago; stepping up to a marathon trip could prompt further progress, as could the new cheekpieces; shortlisted.

He was gaining his first win away from Hamilton when landing a C&D handicap last October off a 2lb lower mark; promising return to action at his beloved Hamilton 19 days ago; that should have blown away any cobwebs and he rates a strong contender for a yard who could be hitting top gear judged on recent results.
