Untested at this trip and he wasn't at his best at Lingfield on Saturday, but he has a solid record at Kempton and was a good second over 1m4f here two starts ago; he's a contender if seeing out the distance.

In good form last summer when these cheekpieces went on, winning from the front at Chester (2m) before a solid sixth of 14 at Glorious Goodwood (2m4f, good to firm); absent since but could be in the shake-up if fully tuned up for his return to action; has won on Polytrack.

8 yo Gelding

OR: 83

Form & Verdict
His form can be up and down but he made it two wins from his last three starts when scoring over C&D in September last time out; a 3lb rise isn't harsh and he can be in the mix if at the top of his game after a break.

Habitual slow-starter who ran as well as could have been expected over C&D last time after fluffing the stalls completely; that was better on his second run back from a break and he's on his last winning mark, so he's a player if getting away fairly.
