Last two runs were his best for over a year and he used to be capable of a bit better

Consistent this autumn/winter; should not be far away if blinkers have no adverse effect
6 (7)	Cloud Free ch J:Sean Levey T:Tom Ward	J:Sean Levey T:Tom Ward	130	t	6415-3	63	79	63	31d	—	—	-9	12.9	10/3 23%
Third at Lingfield for new yard was his closest finish from five attempts at 1m2f/1m3f

Scored in first-time visor over C&D in December; reverts to blinkers; player on a good day

On his lowest mark since 2021 and there's plenty to suggest he still has place claims
8 (4)	Mc'ted b J:Alice Bond(7) T:Michael Keady	J:Alice Bond(7) T:Michael Keady	127	p	0529-8	60	81	64	31d	—	—	-1	3.9	18/1 5%
Ridden by Alice Bond; four wins last year; lesser shows on his last two starts for J Parr

Second run since leaving the Gosdens; going handicapping should offer a better chance
NR (6)	Timetobenice b J:TBC T:Marco Botti	J: T:Marco Botti	135	tp	409-45	68	83	77	19d	—	—	—	4.5	—
Edging down weights and has shown regularly that he's capable of being on the premises
