Form & Verdict
11-race maiden; has been running over longer trips this season, best run when third over 1m4f at Pontefract in May (good); not fared quite as well with cheekpieces (on again here) last twice (pulled hard over 1m3f on first occasion); quite interesting down in trip.

Had the run of things up front when beating four rivals at Beverley (1m4f, good) and only sixth since then over 2m and 1m6f; this is probably a better trip but he's not the easiest to predict.

Allowed to dictate when winning a five-runner race at Beverley (1m4f) in May; ran respectably over 1m6f the time before but weakened out of it off this 4lb higher mark over 2m on latest; back to 1m6f but others are a little more persuasive.

No problem with 1m4f but is still to totally prove his stamina over this far; was allowed to dictate when beating a small field last time and a 4lb rise puts him on a career-high mark.

Ideally suited by 1m on AW or good ground (or softer) and is now 18lb lower than when winning at Leicester last August (1m, soft); clear second off this mark to one completing a hat-trick at Doncaster last time (1m, good); chance.

Has finished close up when fourth/fifth the last twice (8.3f/1m2f, good to firm) and he was on the scoresheet here (1m1f, good) last July; won on good to soft ground ten days later; every chance he'll be thereabouts.

2-42; slipped leaving the stalls over C&D last time but, while that's easily excused, hasn't been shaping like a winner waiting to happen either; it's possible that with a clear run, he might have sneaked into the frame at Wetherby (7f) in April; others more obvious.

Seven-time winner on going ranging from good to heavy at up to 7f, four of them here; yet to win over 1m but close third to a subsequent winner over 8.5f at Hamilton in May (good to soft); below par on fast ground on last two starts, but is well handicapped and worth considering.
