Versatile regarding the ground; useful form when beating an improver at Hamilton (6f, soft) in September but his best turf handicap form is on that track and has more to prove following an Ayr defeat since.

Went close twice in a row this summer before winning at Hamilton (6f, soft) eight days ago; he has a strong record at Hamilton but has also run well here and is firmly in calculations under a 5lb penalty.

Conditions will suit but he has looked on the downgrade in 2026 after a promising reappearance; drops into what is effectively a 0-55 but still comes with risks attached.

Won at Hamilton (5f, good) in June and runner-up on next two starts, over this C&D (soft) on the latter occasion; three lesser runs followed but he was bang there when third back on soft ground at Hamilton (5f) yesterday and has to be considered after that revival.

Recent form-figures look unappealing but he's probably in better heart than they suggest, ending up with too much to do at Ripon last week; successful on only previous start at Redcar, much earlier in career, and he's now 6lb lower than when winning at Thirsk in the spring; no forlorn hope.

Eight-time winner with six on turf and two on Tapeta; his last success was at Ripon (6f, good) three weeks ago and he ran respectably back at 5f at Pontefract last time; remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher than for that recent win and he's in the mix back up in trip.
