Form & Verdict
In a good run of form right now, deserving his Ripon win (2m, good to firm) and beating all bar the favourite at Chester last weekend (1m6f; under Ryan Kavanagh); ran poorly on only previous AW run but that was a novice; thereabouts.

Won over 2m (good) here in June and the saddle slipped on his return visit the following month; can probably forgive him his Ascot run as well as that was a Class 3; could find this trip on the tight side, though.

Had an excuse (saddle slipped, eased) last time when bidding for a Chester double; well suited by 2m but remains on career-high mark and this is a better grade than he usually runs in; difficult task.

Form & Verdict
Only fourth in this 12 months ago but, with headgear removed, he won at Lingfield (1m4f) and here (1m3f) earlier this year; quiet run back here on his return from a break and over 2m this front-runner could be vulnerable late on.

Form & Verdict
In this new headgear combination when a C&D winner in March (ridden patiently) and then made all over the same trip at Newcastle last month; can race freely, which cost him back there next time; has since finished tailed off on heavy; capable on his day but comes with risks.
