Form & Verdict
Two Chepstow wins (6f, good to soft and 5f, good) this summer, finishing with a flourish to pick off the front-runner late on 11 days ago; 1lb wrong under his penalty but his rider's claim is useful and he should still have more to come; finished behind Salta Resta on his penultimate start.

Largely consistent 6yo who gained last season's win at Bath (5.7f, good to firm) in September; subsequent defeat on heavy ground there can be overlooked but he makes his reappearance from a fairly tough mark.

Improved his turf strike-rate to 7-26 when beating 13 rivals over C&D (good to firm) last month; that was a narrow success but he's been as good as ever since a visor has been added and is versatile ground-wise; big player again up 3lb.

His knocks on the door are getting louder and just failed to land a 14-runner Leicester handicap (6f, good to soft) eight days ago; big player on that although he disappointed on good to firm in July when said to prefer a slower surface.

He has won his fair share for other yards and he ran his best race for this one when third of seven over 1m here two weeks ago; another 3lb lower today and dropping in trip shouldn't be a bother.

Form & Verdict
It has been a long time since he won away from Pontefract but he has dropped a long way in the weights and he returned to form when second of 12 in a Class 6 handicap at Chepstow 18 days ago (6f, good to soft); the first two pulled clear on that occasion and a 3lb rise still leaves him on an appealing mark; faster ground will suit and he's a major player.

He used to find winning a challenge but he's in the form of his life this year, winning for the fifth time in 2023 when landing a 7f handicap at Chepstow last month; another career best when second back at Chepstow 18 days ago; up in the weights but foolish to write him off in current form.

Had looked poor over hurdles and on the Flat over middle distances but he has offered more since dropped in trip on his last two starts, runner-up at Lingfield (7f, soft) in July and not beaten far into fourth at Windsor 11 days ago (6f, good to firm); could still have more to come as a sprinter.
