Form dipped at Kempton last time but he had been running well beforehand on both turf and Polytrack; Rossa Ryan booked and he's likely to bounce back quickly.

J: Rossa Ryan

Triple C&D winner who took advantage of a reduced mark when coming from rear to score at Brighton (7f, good) in August; remains well treated on old form but his spark was missing at Kempton last time and he needs to step up again after that.

Form & Verdict
Just 1lb higher than for his Newbury win in June (7f, good to form) and he ran well when a close third at Wolverhampton 23 days ago (8.6f; short head behind a subsequent winner); the cheekpieces are absent today but he has run well without them in the past; considered.
