All his wins have come over 6f, the latest of them back in July 2021; ran well from a wide draw at Chelmsford three weeks ago and he should be fine with a stiff 5f; each-way claims.

Ten-time sprint winner who scored at Bath (5f, good) two weeks ago and the quick turnaround may have caused his downfall at Kempton three days later; has claims if he can recapture that penultimate form and his four runs over C&D include a win and two thirds; dangerous.

Hard to fault his consistency this year and he recorded another career best when readily seeing off eight rivals at Southwell seven weeks ago; that took his record in 5f AW handicaps to 191211 and he is greatly respected as he bids to defy a 5lb rise.

Two of his four AW wins have come over C&D; off the mark on turf when winning a 6f handicap at Chester in June; two runs back from an eight-week break were underwhelming and he has been given another rest since; needs a full revival.
