Back to form when beaten a neck ten days ago; back up 2lb but firmly in the picture

Stable/handicap/turf debut at Doncaster 15 days ago looked promising for this longer trip

Last term's best 1m6f (C&D) and 1m4f form for I Williams gives fair chance if back on song

Good placings this term except when he raced freely attempting 1m6f; a hood is added

Goodwood fourth (1m6f) on penultimate start suggests he should not be totally dismissed

Inadequate trips in 2023 but something more positive from him would have been preferable
