Form & Verdict
Two best efforts have come here, the latest a win in a 0-60 handicap over 1m2f (good to firm) a fortnight ago; major player if coping with the drop back in trip and return to soft ground.

The form of his two wins here (1m2f/1m) this summer has substance; raced freely and folded over 1m2f last time when bidding for Brighton hat-trick, suggesting he'll benefit from this drop back in trip; remains of interest at this level.

Successful once (over this trip) and runner-up five times in eight visits here; ran poorly in a 0-55 handicap at Chepstow (1m, good to soft) last time, but no surprise if he performs better back down in class returned to this venue.

Runner-up twice at Chepstow this season (1m, good/good to firm) but is far too inconsistent to rely upon, and his recent efforts have been very disappointing; swaps usual blinkers for refitted cheekpieces.

Usually leads and has the option of going up the far side from stall 1; hit-and-miss these days, for a trainer also responsible for Romanovich (a fellow front-runner drawn on the opposite wing) but is capable off a feather weight if tactics decide the day.

Back to winning form in a similar event at Southwell (1m, AW) in March, but well held at Newcastle (7f, AW) eight days later; off for 109 days and has no great record fresh; soft ground would be another question mark.

Both turf wins have come here (7f, good to firm) the latest in a 0-58 handicap a fortnight ago; this trip probably as far as he wants and faster ground suits him best, but he did run with credit when fourth of six in a 0-65 handicap here (7f. soft) just over a year ago; respected.
