Form & Verdict
Mainly seen on the AW these days and his last three wins have come on it, but he is at least as effective on turf (6-33) and he ran well back on grass when second of ten at Wetherby (1m, good to firm) a week ago; shortlisted.

Cashed in on a reduced mark when a dual 1m/1m2f scorer at Redcar this summer; poorly drawn when well held at Beverley (1m2f) last time and this course winner can bounce back.

Running well over 7f lately, finishing second of 12 at Ayr (good) six days ago; races off the same mark, but a suspicion that this trip on a stiff track might just stretch him.

Campaigned mostly at Hamilton for current stable, winning in May and creditable second to Sanafi Zabeel (runs in first division) last month; well held in last week's Leger Legends at Doncaster but it's an effort which might be worth forgiving after he pulled too hard; Hector Crouch is 1-1 for the stable this year.
