Acts on good to firm and good to soft; respectable third off this mark at Sandown (1m6f) most recently; has form figures of 113 over this C&D and holds a solid chance back here.

Creditable third twice in May; form dipped when he tried front-running on latest start (had a good record at Goodwood before that) and it had looked as if 1m6f-2m was more his thing these days.

Form & Verdict
Multiple turf and dual AW winner, including over 2m here in January off 2lb lower (first-time visor; no headgear today); largely consistent but did throw in a couple of lesser efforts in February and March; back in better form since and looks a contender.

7yo who was well held at Salisbury (1m6f) last month but that was after a creditable third on Tapeta at Wolverhampton (2m) and he won at Lingfield in June; still looks feasibly treated on that form and he's not ruled out back up in trip.

First turf success at Lingfield (2m, good to firm) in June but, not for the first time, he was well beaten on good to soft next time and his latest third was on AW; the state of the ground is clearly important.

Form & Verdict
Prominent-racer who made virtually all when breaking his duck at Kempton (1m4f, Polytrack) on penultimate start; didn't find much once headed at Lingfield (1m4f, Polytrack) latest; shapes as though he might get this longer trip but does have that to prove.
