It's now over 2 years since he scored over C&D but he arrives in decent nick, doing all he could from a wide draw when fourth over C&D 21 days ago (also denied a clear run). Should remain competitive.

Made a winning debut for Laura Mongan at Lingfield in March but hasn't threatened since, albeit showing a glimmer more promise when seventh of 11 in handicap (100/1) at this C&D 14 days ago, not knocked about after lacking a clear run.

It's now 25 runs since his last success but he again shaped well when only just failing to reel in a better-positioned rival in a 12-runner C&D handicap 3 weeks ago. That form is working out well and he's shortlisted.

Winless in 2026 but has made the frame on 5 of his last 6 starts, swiftly getting back to form under a switch to positive tactics when third of 13 in handicap at this C&D (12/1) 7 days ago. Can give another good account with regular rider back on board.

Timeform Verdict

VOLENTI produced a promising effort over C&D earlier in the month and a reproduction of that form might be enough to see him end his lengthy losing run. Launceston and Book of Life might prove the biggest dangers.
