Multiple sprint winner who coped well with the rise in grade (Class 2) at Windsor on Monday and gets in here off a 3lb lower mark; that was from off the pace but can race prominently (drawn in 1); good chance.

Multiple wins at sprint trips; they were all in lower grades than today but he's not badly treated, even from 3lb wrong, and the slower the ground the better his chance against some who prefer good ground.

Seven turf wins on ground ranging from good to heavy; not in peak form on AW this year but last autumn's wins at Bath (5.5f, heavy) and Leicester (5f, soft) make him of firm interest off this mark.

Close third off this reduced mark at Brighton (6f, good to firm) last month and he can't be discounted; however, this 8yo has been inconsistent this season and was soundly beaten back at Brighton most recently.

Form & Verdict
Low-mileage 3yo; unraced on softer than good; close third at Windsor (6f) most recently; sole start under Alfie Redman resulted in account-opening win at Bath (5f; stable debut) in August; interesting with that rider back on board.

C&D winner; well beaten here in handicaps in May and June; produced her best effort for over a year when winning going away in a Lingfield classified event (6f, good) latest; well treated on her return to this sphere if repeating that effort but it's hard to predict if she will.

Useful in his younger days but, while he remains consistent, he's been on the downgrade for a while and has only won one of his last 43 starts; better effort on his second run back over C&D last time and this is a bit easier off a career-low mark.
