Form & Verdict
All-the-way winner of 6f handicap debut at Newbury but couldn't hold a prominent position at Glorious Goodwood in July; ran up against an improver when returned to 5f at Newbury (good to firm) but still well clear of the rest; solid contender back at 6f.

Mild progress with racing, and although never involved on final qualifying run at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) he did keep on well enough in a race that has worked out since; should be capable of having a say.

Similar level of form in three qualifying runs at 5f and 6f (on soft and good) and wasn't persevered with when fourth to one ahead of his mark (first past the post next time) at Sandown in July (5f, good to firm); up 1lb but should be competitive back at 6f.

Form & Verdict
Useful 6f debut at Haydock in June (soft); lesser efforts at 6f and 7f since, the latest after being gelded, but he wasn't disgraced from off the pace at Thirsk recently and cheekpieces could help now handicapping over what is probably his best trip for now.

Scored at Catterick (5f, good to soft) on his final start last season; has been quiet in his three runs this term but he caught the eye with his late headway at Wolverhampton (fifth of 11) 11 days ago; now 1lb lower than for his win and he looks interesting on this switch back to turf.
