Form & Verdict
Three course wins from six starts, at 1m2f and 1m (all on good to firm), most recently in June; back up 2lb for the latter success and wasn't so effective at Doncaster last week when fitted with first-time cheekpieces (retained today); the return to this track is an obvious plus.

Two wins at Redcar (1m, good to firm/good to soft) last summer, the latest off today's mark; however, it was a tame end to the season and this 8yo needs to get back on track on his reappearance.

Form & Verdict
Dependable at 1m-1m1f on good and soft ground of late, winning at Carlisle in June and only marginally outstayed when second of 15 there since; has a less demanding test this time, regarding track and ground, but his reliability counts for plenty and the more rain the better.
