Four-time winner here, two over C&D on good ground (handles soft); undoubtedly on a dangerous mark but latest two efforts have been underwhelming and he needs to turn things around; safer to look elsewhere on recent form.

Didn't run badly when fifth of nine at Cartmel (2m1f, good) last month and will be fine over today's longer trip but is on the downgrade now and needs a boost from the refitted cheekpieces today.

Returned to form at Perth (2m4f, good to soft) on Wednesday, when he was reeled in after blasting off in front but kept on gamely for second; also suited by this C&D and a recent 2lb drop has now taken effect but he had a hard race at Perth and has become inconsistent.

Veteran; 12-94, four of those wins coming at his beloved Perth; showed up well for much of the contest at Hexham (2m, soft; third, beaten 33l) on Saturday evening, before tiring markedly on the uphill climb; the better ground is in his favour here but this is a quick turnaround.
