Form & Verdict
Second over C&D (good to firm) in May and he got off the mark on turf at the 18th attempt when returning to form at Bath (1m6f, soft) recently; did it with authority and he can be in the shake-up off this 5lb higher mark if backing up that latest performance.

Perhaps better over further and when going close over C&D a month ago he was edged out by a 66-1 chance who wasn't in much form before that race and has disappointed since; may need a tad more here, though Taryn Langley takes off a handy 5lb.

His two wins last year include one here over 1m6f in October and he was runner-up off 2lb higher than today's mark at Kempton (2m, AW) next time; respectable fifth at Goodwood 13 days ago but he isn't certain to be suited by this drop back in trip.

Stamina to prove on this first run beyond 1m4f but the new trip is worth a go; he's won three times during this consistent campaign (1m2f/1m4f, good/good to firm) and could be thereabouts if seeing out the distance.
