J: Shay Farmer

Has patchy profile but he's won two of his last four starts including when making all at Thirsk (6f, good) 18 days ago; that was in a tight four-way finish but he's only 1lb higher back on AW and is still unexposed in this sphere; shortlisted.

Both of his wins have been at Redcar, the most recent in a first-time tongue-tie over 7f nine days ago; has finished only eighth in each of his three starts on the AW and he's 2lb wrong under a penalty, but can't be ruled out.

Sole win came on his first visit here, when he made a winning handicap debut in the 6f nursery (good to soft) on this card 12 months ago; it wasn't a bad effort when seventh of 16 back here (6f, good; Night Emperor third) a fortnight ago; now has a second go at 7f (gradually weakened at Ayr in July) with his visor making way for a tongue-tie.

0-12 but he's reached the frame in five of his last six starts including when fourth of 13 in a classified event at Newcastle (6f, AW) last month; this return to 7f is no problem and he's a key player back in a handicap.
