Sole success came at Wolverhampton AW in January off 5lb higher mark; best run on turf when second at Hamilton (1m4f, good) in July; below that level in three runs since and yet to run on ground worse than good to soft; hood is back on after being discarded last time.

Form & Verdict
Off the mark at 17th attempt when winning by a neck over C&D and he followed up by same margin in three-way finish over 1m5f here (again on good) 13 days later in June; blinkers were reinstated for those two outings; back up another 2lb but he's turned a corner and may have more in the tank.

Kept on well to score at his beloved Hamilton (1m4f, good) four weeks ago; a 5lb rise will make life tougher as he seeks to win away from that Lanarkshire venue for the first time; down the field (sixth) behind Stellarmasterpiece over 1m4f here in April.

Dual course winner (1m4f/1m5f); form has dipped slightly since finishing runner-up at Carlisle (1m6f, good to firm) in May but, on recent evidence, he's closely matched with today's rivals Crystal Guard and Sugarpiehoneybunch; foolish to dismiss.

Still a maiden after nine races but he's come down the weights and kept on well to go down by a head when front-running second of nine at Newcastle (AW) last time, when stepped up to 2m in second-time visor; that suggests he can make the breakthrough as a stayer.

Form & Verdict
Seven-race maiden; close up in May in his first two handicaps (1m2f and 1m4f) but hung right in the latter after making most; well beaten in Class 3 next time and although his C&D fourth of six last time was respectable, he probably needs overall improvement.

Went back-to-back last summer (about 1m4f, AW/good) and he's been beaten 3l or less on his last four starts, including in first-time cheekpieces (retained) four weeks ago; soft ground would be an unknown but he's below his last winning mark and drops back down in grade.

Gradually coming back to form this term and last two efforts, both at Chester, can be marked up (met late trouble latest); remains on last winning mark and he is 1-1 over C&D (novice success two years ago); respected assuming fortune is back on his side.

Modest form on last two starts when fourth of nine at Carlisle (1m1f, soft) and fifth of eight at this track (1m3f, good to firm); now qualified for handicaps and should be more interesting but whether he's ready to take a winning step forward may be in doubt.
