Form & Verdict
0-5 and again looked an awkward ride when in contention at Doncaster (1m, good) in June last time, finishing a close third; however, there's every chance he'll again be thereabouts; stable won this last year; the blinkers worn the last twice are left off today.

In-form 6yo who scored at Nottingham in May/June and ran well when favourite for the Carlisle Bell most recently; revised mark has kicked in but he defied it last summer; solid chance.

Creditable sixth of 16 at York (1m1f, good) before winning at Nottingham (8.5f, good) under Jake Dickson four days ago, making it two wins from his last three starts; escapes a penalty for that success and can't be dismissed.

Recorded his fourth win when scoring over C&D (good) last month and he backed that up with a creditable sixth in a big field at York (1m1f, good); remains feasibly treated on his best form and he's in the mix back at this track.

Won on reappearance at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in April and returned to form with close second at Newmarket (1m, good) in June; unproven on slow ground; could have more to offer at this trip and he's one to consider.

Came good for Jim Goldie at third attempt, in refitted cheekpieces at Hamilton last month, and bettered that form when close third in competitive race at York (also 1m1f, good) soon afterwards; not quite at same level over the extended 1m2f at York last time but still a major player here.

Just his third run for Jim Goldie when taking advantage of his reduced mark at Hamilton (1m1f, good) nine days ago; only nudged up 2lb and remains well treated on old form (won last year's Spring Mile at Doncaster off 10lb higher); top of the list.
