Useful and progressive form at 7f before a good step forward on his handicap debut, rattling home for second in the Britannia at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm); a 5lb rise should be manageable and he has to enter the reckoning despite the subsequent 261-day absence.
He was making his seasonal debut when only fifth in this race 12 months ago but he's been kept on the go this winter and has been better than ever; suspicion others will prove better handicapped here though.
Smart performer on AW, winning this race in 2024 and third 12 months ago; cheekpieces have given him a lift of late, winning a 7f handicap at Kempton ten days ago; still on a handy mark and he is sure to be popular.
Lightly-raced 4yo who took his form to a new level when readily seeing off ten rivals at Lingfield last week (1m2f); a 6lb rise shouldn't be beyond him and he can't be discounted stepping back in distance.
Well suited by AW and although he is yet to win off a mark this high, he has plenty of form that gives him a fighting chance; can step up on last week's return to action and he holds each-way claims.
