Nine-time course winner, on ground ranging from firm to good to soft; still on workable mark after 3lb rise for last month's C&D success and encountered traffic when only ninth on heavy ground here 11 days ago but, nevertheless, he'd appeal much more on a quicker surface.

Raced mainly over much shorter trips and is patently not the force of old but ran a big race in defeat when close/clear second here (1m2f, firm) two starts ago and is a contender if judged on that performance.

Last year's winner (from 4lb higher); patchy form this year, with respectable efforts (Kempton) interspersed with weak finishes elsewhere; probably holds a similar chance to Endofastorm based on their recent C&D clash; any sign of market support would offer encouragement.
