Form & Verdict
Has a useful sprint pedigree but seemed too green to do himself justice when a never-nearer fifth of eight at Wolverhampton (6f; 11-1) four weeks ago; may come on a good deal for the experience and has possibilities despite the outside stall.

Comes into this in red-hot form having won his last five starts on the AW, the latest when dead-heating with Recon Mission at Lingfield (5f, Polytrack) 11 days ago; meets him on the same terms and has winning form over C&D, so hard to rule out despite a 7lb higher mark and rise in grade.

Dual AW winner (6f/7f) but his last success was 17 months ago and he's been up and down in five runs this year; ran too freely at Lingfield last time but that was a disappointing run as favourite and he needs to bounce back again after that.

Has modest 2-33 strike-rate but one of the wins was gained over C&D and he returns here after two fairly good fourths, the latter in first-time visor at Southwell (5f) a fortnight ago; more appealing than most.

Looked on the way back to form when second of 11 at Southwell in August but he followed it with a lesser run over C&D seven weeks ago (always on the back foot after a slow start); should get a good pace to aim at and headgear is now reached for; not dismissed.
