Still to win and had plenty of chances now; not been seeing it out over 7f lately, though, latterly in a hood and this mark is surely within range if things fall his way.

It took him a long time to get off the mark but he has won three of his last six starts and two of his last three; form of latest Pontefract (6f, good) success couldn't be working out much better (second, third and fourth all won next time) and a 3lb rise is no issue; obvious chance.

All five of his wins have come at Newcastle; it has been a long time since the last of them but a second wind op seemed to do the trick earlier in the year, finishing second at Chelmsford and over C&D; absent since March but he has to be taken seriously off his lowly mark.

Serial hard-puller who can miss the break and will always come with risks attached; things fell right when he won a 0-50 classified event over C&D three weeks ago and he'll be popular again for a yard that's made a bright start to the year.

The last of his five wins was in a classified event at Newcastle (6f, AW) for Ben Haslam in February; made a solid start for new yard when runner-up there (tongue-tie added) in June and he's respected in suitable conditions back on turf.

Has risen to new heights this year, winning six times, the most recent three over 7f on turf (good and soft), but his charmed run ended at Musselburgh last week; runs off the same mark today and has ground to make up on Abduction; may need weight off his back now.

Wins all come in the summer on turf and never off a mark this high (last two in 0-50 classified events); entitled to have needed his C&D comeback last Friday and the usual cheekpieces are back in place but he'll need to step up a deal on that.
