Off the mark at the 12th attempt when beating 14 rivals at Nottingham (6f, good) last month (two of these behind), but didn't seem suited by the drop to 5f when fourth of nine there (good) 17 days ago; well drawn for a prominent racer and a major player back up in trip.

Stepped up on his maiden/novice form when making a successful handicap debut (6f) here last week, travelling strongly and having enough in reserve to hold the late challenge of the runner-up; he was caught wide throughout on that occasion and the effort can be marked up; drop to 5f should be fine and a 3lb rise looks manageable; big player.

Possibly not the most straightforward but it was a big run when second of 15 at Salisbury (6f, good; front pair clear) last Thursday; that was a career best and subsequent 3lb nudge could have been worse; previous third over 5f showed this trip is no bother and he's considered.
