Form & Verdict
Won a 7f handicap at Wolverhampton in November and he's run well in defeat since, including a second to Abnaa (runs in the 5.30) over 7f here last week; travelled well on that occasion and dropping back to 6f might help matters.

Four C&D wins (mostly on soft), the latest when seeing off Chief Of State last October; has twice finished behind Evocative Spark over 7f here this year, so has work to do with that reopposing rival; latest effort - runner-up - was a definite step back in the right direction.

His last four wins have come over 6f here (good and soft), the latest last October; reappeared with 5l third of 12 over C&D last month but only seventh of nine over C&D (also good) since; 6f seems his optimum trip.

All four of his turf wins have come at Catterick but over 6f; creditable effort back from a break when third (5l behind Evocative Spark) two weeks ago; can build on that but perhaps vulnerable to stronger stayers.

Form & Verdict
Three 6f wins to his name but just one since August 2018; his yard is in blistering form at present and he ran well when second in an amateur handicap at Kempton last week, coming from a long way back; effective at this track and rising star of the apprentice ranks takes over for the first time; good chance.

Won first two 5f handicaps, in April and May (soft and good to soft), including over C&D; hasn't had a great second half of the year, however, and after running better than the bare result at Ayr last month he was well adrift at Catterick since; could still go well if the mood takes.

Equally effective over 6f-7f, even though both career wins have come over today's 5f trip (Class 6); lost his way after finishing in the frame in a selling handicap at Hamilton in July, but his latest Ayr effort (ninth of 20; first-time visor) was more encouraging; 2lb above last winning mark.
