Form & Verdict
Has won four of his last seven, including a clearcut win at Thirsk (1m4f, good to firm) last time; goes back up in trip off 6lb higher but he didn't get much luck when a close fourth at Catterick (2m) on his penultimate run and is open to more progress; big player with Billy Loughnane booked.

Five wins in his time with Phil Kirby; four runs for Tracy Waggott and better than ever when winning the Cesarewitch Trial at Newmarket (2m2f, good to firm) under Aiden Brookes on latest; probably fine in the mud and won a C&D race last term, so should have a big say despite going back up 4lb.

Form & Verdict
Won over hurdles last August but has mixed record over jumps since and he returned to the Flat with a remote second over C&D (good) in May; that was behind a major improver but he needs to build on that off unchanged mark.

Got back on the scoresheet with a 5l win in small field at Pontefract (2m1f, good to firm) last month but she's a mercurial type who flopped when favourite at Lingfield (2m, AW) last time; still unexposed at staying trips but she needs to bounce back again after that last run.
