Struggled to cope with heavy ground on last month's seasonal/handicap debut on the Flat but was placed last summer (7f, good; RPR 72) and evidently has significant ability; a possible if he gets the trip.

Six turf wins include one here (1m2f, good to firm) in August; had wind surgery before a fair comeback at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) in March and built on that when fifth of 14 at Nottingham (1m2f, good) 11 days ago; drop back in trip no reason to rule him out and he's respected.

Form & Verdict
Neck second of seven in maiden at Hamilton in June when 33-1; however, he failed to reproduce that form (the best in this line-up) when eighth of 15 at Ayr four weeks later, both over 6f on good ground; gelded soon afterwards and also now sports a visor.

Two C&D wins early in the year (from the front) and added a Hamilton handicap to his tally in July; solid effort over 7f here three weeks ago and returning to 6f should be beneficial.

Narrow win at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) in July and went very close at Nottingham (6f, heavy) next time; this is more competitive but this 3yo is not ruled out each-way now back down in distance, having run well before fading over 7f at Carlisle last Wednesday.

Holds solid claims on the form of his Beverley 1m2f third in July but he failed to build on it when tenth at Thirsk (1m4f) the following month; he has a bit to prove now if he's to get off the mark here.

Best form since his debut effort when 2l third at Beverley latest (good to soft); that slowly run affair wouldn't be reliable evidence he stays 1m2f, however, and there's 2f further still to go tonight.
