13/8

Dual winner in 2025, including 6f here, and added to tally with an all-the-way win at Southwell (7f) in January. Made a respectable return to turf when 6 lengths third at Lingfield (7f, good to soft) 23 days ago.

Form: 544-183

4/9

Back-to-back winner over 1m at Southwell last autumn. Rather in-and-out since but made a respectable, if very belated, start to his turf career when third of 13 at Doncaster (7f, good) last month. Merits consideration.

HERETIC has come to turf very late in the day but last month's Doncaster third suggests he's equally as effective on it and he's taken to resume winning ways, perhaps at the main expense of the unexposed Divine Wish. Former course scorer Rusheen Boy is next on the list.
