Goes well here and he ran easily his best race of the year when winning over C&D (good) four weeks ago, coming from well back; didn't repeat the form at Ripon but he could bounce back returning to this venue.

Ended a 14-race losing run in a 0-50 classified event over C&D last month (fourth course win) and ran just as well when second of ten in a handicap (clear of the third) over the same trip back here last time; the winner is 3-3 since so a 4lb rise may not prevent another big run.

Unplaced all six starts but he gave hope he can make more of an impact in handicaps when a keeping-on fourth of 13 at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) last time; will probably stay today's extra yardage and he's lower mileage than most of these; not ruled out.
