Four wins divided between turf and the AW; 7lb above his highest winning mark and appeared to have no excuses when fifth of 14 at Wetherby four weeks ago (7f, good to firm).

On a career-high mark but he won well from the front at Chelmsford (7f, AW) in November when last seen and may remain competitive; dual scorer on turf and doesn't necessarily need to dominate.

He had been threatening over 7f before breaking his duck upped to 1m here five weeks ago, keeping on well; the runner-up has gone well since and a 2lb rise is manageable; unexposed as a miler.

Form & Verdict
13th-time lucky when getting off the mark in a C&D handicap three weeks ago, well backed and finding plenty in the closing stages; up 3lb in a stronger race but he's unexposed as a miler and is still 16lb lower than when making his handicap debut.

Two Kempton wins (1m) in the spring; she's come up short in Class 5 events on her last three starts but has remained competitive; this looks a touch easier and she commands serious respect.

Won on hurdling debut at Catterick (1m7f, good) last November but this year's Flat form has been disappointing and he was pulled up (albeit on soft ground) when making handicap hurdle debut in selling grade in July.
