Has won four times, including twice here (5f/6f), but ideally suited by some give in the ground; proving hard to win with this season, although has run creditably on last four starts (on good to firm on first occasion); each-way chance.

His form can be up and down but he won at Redcar (5f, soft) in May and went close at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last month; he didn't enjoy the best of passages when close fifth at Beverley (5f, good to firm) last time in a first-time visor (retained) and he could be in the shake-up.

Entered in Newbury Super Sprint; sent off at 10-1 on debut on Tapeta at Southwell (5f) and was a promising third of nine after racing keenly; entitled to improve for the run and, as the only horse in this with previous experience, has to be factored into calculations.
