Seems to save his best for Sandown these days, winning a handicap at the Scilly Isles meeting for the third time in February. Poor at Aintree last month but this is easier for in-form yard.

Productive last summer, winning twice at Worcester, and shaped encouragingly after 6 months off at Chepstow 4 weeks ago behind classy rival. Big shout if building on that.

11/4

Scored again at Kelso (17f) a fortnight ago, quickly settling matters after jumping on at the second last. Never been one to rely on though and suspect a 7 lb rise will be enough to anchor him in follow-up bid.

Landed 4-runner C&D handicap in March but held at Chepstow (behind Leapaway) last time. Down 2 lb.

3/1

Had a fine time of it over fences in 2021/22, winning 6 times. Upsides and going well when unseated rider 4 out in race won by Slate House at Kempton 16 days ago and not dismissed for in-form yard.
