Comment: Registered an emphatic win in five-runner race at Pontefract (2m2f) on reappearance and bang there when third of six at Ripon (2m, again on good) later in April; unraced on firmer than good; should be strong at the finish and respected as an in-form candidate.

Comment: Excelled last April-August at 1m6f, winning five times on varied ground; out of form in his final two starts last term and on 1m4f reappearance one month ago, but a visor (worn on last three starts in 2024) returns and he's worth this second attempt at 2m; return to form may well be possible.
