Four wins here and nearly made that five last month on two occasions, since when he's again gone close at Pontefract; likely contender off the same mark as for last two runs.

Appears to prefer Beverley to elsewhere, having secured four of his five wins there, at up to 8.5f; has been a close second and third over 1m2f there on his last two starts; big player if as effective here.

The winner of nine races, including C&D, and arrives in good form having finished second in three of his last four races; did rather throw away his latest start at Leicester though, surging to the lead 1f out but dossing in front and picked off close home; has the ability to win but he will need producing late.

Won a classified race at Wolverhampton (9.4f, AW) in February in a first-time visor; creditable fourth of ten in 1m2f Beverley handicap (good) on Tuesday, staying on again after getting outpaced; that suggests a return to further could suit but this is a big jump in trip.
