Form & Verdict
Poor form in his first three starts but a gelding operation, four-month break and switch to nurseries have seen him transformed this autumn; his two 6f wins here have both pointed to today's extra furlong being suitable and he is 4lb ahead of the handicapper despite his penalty; obvious chance of completing the hat-trick.

Fourth, nearest at the finish, to Hallowed Time in this last year; back with James Owen again and arrives in the midst of a productive spell, recent second-place finishes (visored) to add to earlier wins at Yarmouth and Brighton (7f); can often miss the break though, which isn't ideal at Chester.

Nine of his ten wins have been on turf and he came from off the pace when good second off this mark at Brighton (6f; first-time visor) last month; has claims if he can repeat that form but he's 1-12 on AW and that success was in a claimer.
