Expert View:
Returned to form beaten a length off this mark here last time; effective 6-8f, acts on a sound surface and AW; on a very competitive mark, chance if building on latest.
Star rating: 4
Form Snapshot: Has won nine races from 7f to 1m including 5 wins on the all-weather. Third of 11 behind Acclaimed Freedom beaten 1 1/4l at 50-1 on his latest outing over this course and distance earlier this month. Has won 3 times this season.
Michael Dods (25 August 2026): "He’s done very well for us this season and won some low-grade races. He could probably still be competitive off 74 if things go right. He’s fine on a turn seven or eight furlongs and fast ground or the All-Weather suit him. He seems well and he’ll be out but he’s won five races and he’s probably paid the price."
Michael Dods (09 June 2023): "He won well at Redcar and because the handicapper overreacted and put him up 13lb we went to Leicester the other day. He didn’t handle the track at all and also stumbled coming out of the stalls. You can write off that race and we will see what the handicapper does with him next week."
