Dead-heated for first in this race 12 months ago; he's one to keep an eye on in the betting and his chance is not dismissed, but this 10yo has struggled in the main this season.

Poor strike-rate and on a long losing run but he is fully effective over C&D and he comes here on the back of two seconds last month; drawn on the outside and may have to wait a bit longer to get off the mark for this yard.

Two-time AW winner for previous trainer; good start for this yard when second at Catterick (7f, good to firm) last month; not quite so good in either run since but shouldn't be inconvenienced by dropping to 6f in a well-run race.

Form & Verdict
Has been much better than this level in the past and one of his four C&D wins came in the feature race on this card back in 2017; he ran his best race of 2022 when a close third over 7f at Ayr nine days ago and he's one of the likelier winners.
