Ran up a five-timer here early in the year (1m3f-today's trip), latterly off an 8lb mark; raced freely down to 1m last time and will need to settle better going right back up in distance, especially into a small field.

He hasn't looked back since stepping up to middle distances, winning five times here this year from 1m3f to 2m; ran right up to his best when second at Newcastle three weeks ago and still has time to do better; whether he'll have the pace to cope with the return to 1m is a moot point though.
