Has lacked consistency this term and finished only eighth here most recently; defied a 5lb higher mark over C&D last October (sole AW win) and has a good chance if back to that form.

Form & Verdict
Returned to winning ways at favourite course Hamilton (1m1f, good) last month and followed up by 6l at Ripon (1m, good) on Monday; it was an apprentice handicap last time so he escapes a penalty here and could be tough to beat if this doesn't come too soon; has also won on fast ground.

A bit underwhelming at Hamilton a fortnight ago but went there in good form, having won at Musselburgh (1m, good) previously; has won over C&D on soft ground and can be a contender if leaving latest run behind.

This is his time of year and, after a close second over C&D (good) last month, he went one better at Musselburgh (1m, good) last Tuesday; fully at home on slow ground and firmly in calculations under a 4lb penalty.

All six of his wins in Britain, and all ten of his outings last season, have come at Beverley; won over 7.4f/1m4f last summer but this 10yo lacks a recent outing and hasn't really shone on his three previous visits here.

0-7 but his best run came on his sole visit here, when a close fourth over C&D (good) last month, and he was a fair fifth at Carlisle (1m, good) latest; a possible if the return to this track gives him a boost.

Brings good stats, being 2-2 since returned to turf from AW and 2-3 at Bath; justified favouritism at Windsor last week when avoiding a penalty for his C&D success under Myla Coppins; has to deal with revised mark and a 4lb penalty but still respected.

Showed little last year on his four starts for Alan Berry and was only seventh of ten at Carlisle (1m, good) on his recent reappearance and handicap/stable debut; however, that latest result doesn't tell the full story as he was denied a clear run; could pose more of a threat here.
