All three wins have come over 7f and latest was at Southwell in March; creditable third back there next time but has found it harder on turf since; has returned to the mark he defied at Southwell but has too much too prove, including stamina for 1m (remote last of four previous attempt).

Showed career-best form when scoring at York (1m, good to firm) last month and was denied clear run in closing stages when very respectable fifth at Ascot (7f, good to firm) a fortnight later; still unexposed over 1m and remains very much of interest.

Three wins at this trip and he was down to his previous winning mark when popping up at 25-1 in 11-runner handicap over 1m at York (good to firm) a fortnight ago; that was a comfortable career best and he might need to better it back down to 7f from 6lb higher; still respected.

Form & Verdict
Pulled too hard under restraint when a beaten favourite at Haydock (1m, good to soft) in May and a return to front running worked a treat at Cork (1m, good) since, making all by over 3l; the handicapper hasn't missed him but this course often suits similar tactics and David Marnane had a winner here last month.

Never saw another rival when making all at Cork (1m, good) to win by 3l; raised 10lb for that but almost repeated the dose at York two weeks ago when headed late on into second (1m, good to firm); raised another 4lb now, but he's thriving and is firmly in the mix.
