Justified favouritism at Bath last weekend and looks the type to progress further

Reappearance form has worked out well; off the mark at Salisbury last Sunday; respected

Won at Beverley last month; unable to follow up at Nottingham having raced freely

Won over C&D (narrowly off 1lb lower) last October; possibilities back here

Inconsistent during a busy 2024 but this drop back in grade may suit

Raced only on soft/heavy; forecast faster ground is an unknown on handicap debut
