Form & Verdict
Winless in handicaps but he's been running well over 1m4f for new connections; often takes a good hold so the new trip raises a query but he was paceless rather than a non-stayer at Leicester (first-time tongue-tie, retained) recently and he may well stay 1m6f; chance again.

Won over 1m6f at Redcar in August but hasn't given himself a chance in two subsequent races after pulling hard, with and without the hood; risky.

Form & Verdict
Three wins, the latest over C&D (good to firm; sole course start); not in the same form since and has ground to make up on Wadacre Giorgio from their Musselburgh run last week, but the return to this more galloping track can suit; in the thick of it.

0-8 but he's run two creditable races off this mark since upped in trip on last two starts, having the lead taken off him at Musselburgh (1m5f, good; Billy Bathgate back in third) but keeping on stoutly enough to think he'll stay this far; solid chance.
