Teak-tough effort to take this race on soft ground 12 months ago; in good form in Dubai in February and his Ascot fourth (5f, good to firm) in July was a career-best RPR; two runs at Glorious Goodwood were respectable and he is 3lb lower than when midfield in the Stewards' Cup; new blinkers replace usual visor; sure to be primed for a bold bid.

Finished fourth behind stablemate Two Tribes in this race 12 months ago when 8lb lower and enjoyed his finest hour when making most to win the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, soft) last September; successful in Dubai early in the year and although his results have been mixed since returning to Britain, he retains plenty of ability; down the field over 5f here on Tuesday when a change of tactics failed to bear fruit; better can be expected today.

Three wins in the second half of last year (various ground; the final one over C&D); he's struggled to get competitive for most of this year but has dropped down the weights and ran well when fourth of 13 at Newcastle (5f, AW) last time; another 2lb lower today and he's one to consider.

Consecutive 6f fast-ground wins in Leicester seller and Lingfield novice last July; well beaten in York nursery later that month and 2yo campaign ended there; however, he reappeared with close second in Leicester handicap (6f, good to soft) ten days ago and could be in the mix.

The addition of a tongue-tie saw him return to winning ways at Wolverhampton (6f, AW) in June; the tongue-tie was left off on last month's stable debut and he ran creditably in fifth at Southwell; this may prove too competitive.

Made it 3-4 on Tapeta when winning off 4lb lower early last month; a poor effort on turf a few weeks ago will need forgiving but he's the type to respond positively to a change of yard and the headgear coming off, so holds possibilities.
