Won a handicap here (1m6f, good to firm) in May and placed in handicaps on the other Newmarket course on his two runs this summer (1m6f, good to firm/good); further improvement is needed if he's to win in today's higher grade but this progressive 6yo holds each-way claims.

Second run after wind surgery saw him better than ever back on turf for a clearcut win in 12-runner race on the other Newmarket track (1m6f, good to firm) when last seen nearly ten weeks ago; 7lb rise demands better still but he's a regular Flat winner who needs respect.

Reached the frame in low-grade handicap hurdles this spring but never a threat back on the Flat here (1m2f) three weeks ago; the handicapper has given him a chance by dropping him 4lb, back to his last successful mark, but others are still preferred.
