The form of his Newcastle second (5f AW) has taken some knocks but he shaped very nicely in splitting rivals who had the benefit of experience; bypassed Beverley last week after conditions turned heavy.

Scored off this mark at Chelmsford (5f) last July; should be sharper following a run at Newmarket last month and steps back up to 6f; not out of this.

An improved spell over 5f last July included an AW win and a close second in a Racing League race at Yarmouth (soft); unable to sustain that level after but he hasn't had many chances in 5f handicaps and may well do better this year, if not today.

Was having his first start after a second wind operation when down the field at Wolverhampton (6f, Tapeta) 15 days ago; 2lb lower then when just missing out at Chester (5f, soft) in June and each-way claims if reproducing that sort of form.

Won a Lingfield novice (5f, AW) last August and only just beaten in a handicap there (6f; first-time visor) in February, but recent efforts (including in blinkers) haven't been at the same level; vulnerable to less exposed rivals.
