Recorded his tenth career success with a plucky victory at Catterick (6f, soft) last month; 3lb rise still leaves him fairly treated on previous form and he has gone well on Polytrack, but widest stall not ideal.

Three-time winner as a 2yo, including once over C&D; showed he retained his ability when third of ten in this headgear combination at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) in May (form worked out well), but not seen since finishing lame at Sandown (7f, good to firm) the following month; gelded since and has a bit to prove.

In fine form on turf lately, winning narrowly at Windsor (6f, good) and finishing second in big fields at Goodwood (6f, good to soft) and Newbury (6f, soft) either side; two wins on Polytrack early last year included one over C&D so no surprise to see him run another big race from his good draw.
