J: Callum Shepherd

T: Charlie Johnston

Hasn't won since last June but he ran well when third at Musselburgh (good) in June and should have finished even closer, when events conspired against him, before a fifth of 15 at Glorious Goodwood (also 1m1f, good to firm) last month; player from the same mark in this easier event.

Inconsistent and his losing sequence is up to 11 races; however, he was a close third off this reduced mark at Musselburgh (1m1f, good) last time and is an each-way contender if backing up that performance.

Won in Britain and Bahrain during his spell with George Scott; off five months (had wind surgery) and shaped as if needing the race when last of four at Redcar (1m2f) for new yard seven weeks ago; could build on that but needs to.

0-8 since winning his first two starts but he ran well when second of five at Sandown (1m, good to firm) in July and soft ground excuses a below-par effort at Haydock (1m) next time; cheekpieces go on; chance.

Got up late to land a 7f Carlisle handicap (soft) in May; back on that winning mark and returned to form when runner-up back at Carlisle (7f, good) last Wednesday, shaping as if worth another go over 1m; bit of a tricky customer but has to enter calculations.

Posted duck eggs at York the last twice but this is a drop back in class and he's on last winning mark; however, still has a much better strike-rate on AW than on turf and his losing run is mounting up.

He's 8-50 on the AW and only 1-13 on turf; he was bang there over this far and off this mark at Redcar in April but he's another in here on a recovery mission after two lesser efforts.

Has gained all four handicap wins over C&D, including two this May (good to soft/good to firm); also ran well over the extended 7f here in midsummer and has been given a chance by the handicapper on the back of a poor run at Pontefract five weeks ago; his C&D record affords him plenty of respect.
