Form & Verdict
Miles clear of the rest when edged out by Seahorse Syd here (1m; now armed with 2lb pull) and then bumped into an improver on the AW (7f); soft ground would be a first but strongly considered.

T: Adrian Nicholls

His sole win was 13 months ago but he's placed in last three runs and his second at Catterick (1m4f) last time was behind a rival who was completing a hat-trick; now drops back to 1m but he's versatile trip-wise and is effective on Tapeta; shortlisted.

Best with his emphatic win at Carlisle (1m, good) in August but he's not easy to predict and was last of nine at Thirsk last time; still unexposed on AW and has won at this track but he needs to bounce again on this return to Tapeta.

Triple winner at up to 1m2f; arrives on the back of a career-best effort, when the ready winner of a 0-55 handicap at Carlisle (1m, good) recently; has been below par next time after his two previous successes but he's a player again after a 5lb rise, provided he can back up his win.
