Below par the last twice but those were over 6f, and fast ground may not have suited last time; ran well in defeat twice in a row over today's C&D (good) in July and could bounce back to form now back up in trip.

Standing dish at Ripon, where he's recorded ten of his 12 wins; his 71st start is his first here; below par in both starts this season; drops 2lb but perhaps needs further favours from the handicapper to win again.

Ten-time course winner who ended last season with two wins (6f/5f) at Ripon; struggled on Thirsk reappearance last month but he doesn't have a great record when fresh and he's not ruled out back at his favoured track; acts on good to firm and soft.

Form & Verdict
Refitted with cheekpieces when gaining his first success of 2023 over C&D eight days ago; saddles a 5lb penalty now but all his three career victories have come here so he can't be taken lightly with the headgear retained.
