Three wins in a busy campaign this year, the latest at Pontefract (1m, good) last month; another solid effort when second of 13 in a Racing League handicap at Windsor (1m, good to firm) 11 days ago and although up another 3lb, still makes the shortlist.

Sole handicap win came when delivered late by Jamie Spencer; ran close to his best when short-headed over C&D three weeks ago, leading briefly inside the final 1f; should go well again with Spencer back in the saddle.

Has plenty of ability but his losing run stands at 17 and there have been a few false dawns along the way; out of sorts when last seen in May; dangerous mark but risky starting out for another new yard.

Has thrived this winter, winning four times (6f/7f) including at Kempton three weeks ago; usually held up for a late run and has managed to stay ahead of the handicapper; nudged up another 3lb but impossible to rule out.

Form & Verdict
AW specialist with a good record (three wins) here; beginning to slip in the weights and was far from disgraced when fourth of seven to Ultramarine at Kempton (7f) three weeks ago; wears a hood for the first time since winning over C&D this time last year; leading contender.
