Got off the mark in a Catterick novice for George Scott and a solid third in a Goodwood handicap final start for him; races off the same mark today for a new yard; is ground-versatile and the market should help.

Lightly raced 4yo; gelded and wearing first-time blinkers, back with a bang to make all in a novice at Catterick in April; faded to a 19l defeat in Chester handicap (again 7f on good; unraced on softer) four weeks later, however, so others look more solid options.

Progressive form in the spring, following a ready Brighton win with an emphatic success at Doncaster (6f, good to firm) on handicap debut; ran no sort of race when favourite at Newmarket's July meeting last time but has had two months off and now reappears in cheekpieces; may still be unexposed.

2-2 since faced with 6f on fast ground, following his ready Brighton win with an emphatic success at Doncaster on his handicap debut eight weeks ago; while that latest form hasn't been especially well advertised, he looked a smart prospect and has a major chance despite an 11lb rise.

Opened his account at the seventh attempt over hurdles in a match at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm) last month and bettered that effort when a close third over C&D seven days ago off the same mark; Paddy Hanlon's 5lb claim is unavailable here, but another effort of that calibre would put him firmly in the mix.

Made the breakthrough over hurdles at the seventh attempt, getting the better of the long-odds-on favourite in a match at Huntingdon (2m, good to firm; 6-1) 12 days ago; what that form amounts to is questionable, and this Class 4 contest is much more competitive.
