3yo who has an up-and-down profile and was tailed off at Southwell last time; however, he won at Kempton (1m4f) two starts ago and is also effective over this C&D; not discounted.

The only 3yo in this field and made the most of a sliding mark when winning by a neck at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) this month; the fourth won here on Monday and he can't be dismissed easily from a 3lb higher mark.

Both wins have been on AW and latest was 11 months ago; 0-15 on turf but he had a near-miss at Nottingham (5f, good) in July and has run respectably in two of his three subsequent runs; usually comes from off the pace and has possibilities if he gets some luck.

Chased home Canaria Queen in a Nottingham classified event 11 days ago and 1lb better off for a head defeat today; ran another good race at Newcastle on Saturday, never nearer than at the finish; new blinkers replace cheekpieces; has the ability to win a race of this nature but he's an habitual slow starter so will always need some luck in running.

9.4f was too short on penultimate start and his third over 1m4f at Lingfield two days ago was much more like it; needs some riding and has worn a variety of equipment; record in his eight handicaps this year includes four seconds and just one win but he will probably end up thereabouts.
