Has worn this hood on both previous starts; went close on debut at Kempton (7f, AW) in January and won comfortably there (1m) in February; today's assignment is a much tougher test of his credentials but he's the sole runner in the race for Charlie Appleby, who has won three of the last five runnings, and possesses considerable potential; could have a big say.

9-2 for last month's debut over C&D and, despite taking a keen hold, went down by only a short head in a field of eight; further may suit him better eventually, but still a contender here on the back of that promising start.

The least exposed in this field, given his four races were all on AW; two were wins and the way he imposed his superiority at Chelmsford (1m2f; 9lb higher today) in June on handicap/seasonal debut suggests he is all set for better still if he proves effective on this surface.

Last December's C&D novice third, under a penalty, reads well enough; that came after a break of nine months and he's been absent for six months since, so it clearly hasn't been plain sailing; interesting to see how he goes in the market.
