In good form across his four starts this year, scoring twice (5.5f/5f) and being placed on the other two occasions, latterly when third back at Beverley (not clear run) one month ago; all those runs came on good to firm so he probably doesn't want too much of the forecast rain; otherwise hard to knock.

Front-running wins at Thirsk and over this C&D in July (both on good to firm), the most recent coming off a 3lb lower mark than today's; below his best here on his last two starts but is worth forgiving for the latest effort, having come across to the near side rail; may be able to bounce back.
