Form & Verdict
Rarely runs a bad race and won for the third time this year under Henry Callan at Lingfield (1m, AW) last Monday; possibly found the run coming too soon when below best back on turf at Beverley three days later; should not be far away if another quick run doesn't count against him.

Four wins on the AW in Class 6 company since December (6f-8.5f); respectable efforts on his last two outings but he possibly didn't quite get home over this trip at Ripon last month; each-way contender.

Four wins (6f to 8.6f) on AW since December; perhaps stretched by 1m2f when only fourth at Ripon a fortnight ago; returning to a mile should help but a career best is needed to defy this mark.

Rarely runs a bad race and he's won two of his last three starts, including an emphatic win at Wolverhampton (8.6f, AW) 11 days ago; has a penalty back on turf but he ran right up to his best last time and this new trip should be within range; respected.
