Form & Verdict
Campaigned mainly over 7f/1m for a large chunk of his career but has been sprinting in recent weeks, and coped well with drop to 5f when keeping-on second to a next-time-out winner at Thirsk (good to firm) last time; nicely drawn against nearside rail here; good chance.

Consistent over 5f-6f during summer but yet to win this year and form has dipped lately; will find this easier than latest task and won't mind if the ground softens but younger rivals have more appealing profiles.

Went close off basement mark on seasonal debut at Beverley (5f, good to firm) in June and last month's sixth over that C&D (first-time visor) was arguably a better run than the bare form suggests; could have a say.

Three-time 5f winner (once over C&D); has slipped to a dangerous mark but didn't really fire when fitted with cheekpieces for his two starts last month, and needs to up his game in first-time visor here.

More effective on AW but handicapped accordingly on turf; never really got involved after sluggish start at Beverley (first-time hood) a fortnight ago but looks quite well treated if judged on C&D sixth in May (first-time visor); no headgear today.
