He's had a very productive year with five wins in the bag and yet still on a realistic mark; however, his latest run wasn't his best and he has never won over this far.

The winner of five races this summer, latterly getting the better of Prefer The Sister over 7f here last month (6lb better off with that rival today); well drawn to attack but could help set this up for a finisher.

Another seemingly exposed sort to be galvanised by a move to James Owen, winning fast-ground handicaps here (7f), Yarmouth (1m) and Newmarket (7f); beaten favourite at Chepstow last time when running off a 9lb lower mark than today's; drops back to 6f with her hood discarded.
