Shrugged off some below-par runs when third of 13 at Redcar (5f, good) 13 days ago and he's now back on the mark he defied at Thirsk (5f, good to firm) in May; 0-5 on AW but a creditable fourth over C&D on his yard debut in the spring; Danny Tudhope is not a regular booking for the stable.

He has finished runner-up twice this season, including at Redcar (5f, good) off 4lb higher, but he failed to justify support when seventh at Beverley three weeks ago; career-low mark but his modest strike-rate (2-27) tempers confidence and there's a soft-ground query too.

Easily saw off 11 rivals at Musselburgh last month (5f, soft), form that has received some boosts since; not well drawn when down the field at Newbury two weeks ago (6f, good); mark left alone and perhaps vulnerable over 5f on a quick surface.
