Will always need some luck given his run-style but he's a proven winner who hasn't found races run to suit of late; tonight's bigger field should help and he's fairly treated again (4lb lower than when last successful).

Dual 7f course winner; 7f wins at Doncaster and Yarmouth last month, the latter off 7lb lower, but he wasn't suited by a modestly run race at the former track ten days ago; left the impression he's still in form and he holds claims returned to 1m.

Can lead; all eight wins on the AW, five over this C&D; faded into midfield having been drawn wide here in May and soft ground can be given as an excuse for failing to beat a rival at Goodwood (1m) two months ago; could go well back on this surface.
