Inconsistent on turf but usually gives his running round here, as when third to Sunriseontheboyne as favourite on Wednesday; a 5lb swing in the weights entitles him to at least close the gap, with neither likely to be hindered by the return to 7f.

Got the gaps, strong at the finish, when successful over C&D in June (17-2; from this mark - Flying Fletcher fourth); failed to build on that until hinting at a return to form at Doncaster (7f; sixth, 22-1; blindfold off late) latest; one to consider.

4yo who turned things around with 28-1 win off a reduced mark here (1m2f) two weeks ago; that was a last-gasp success but he's only 1lb higher here and he should get a decent pace on this drop back in trip; dangerous if he can repeat that latest form.
