All ground seems to come alike to him and he gained his second C&D success (good to firm) last month, but a 4lb rise appeared to anchor him in his two outings since; may need the returning visor to perk him up a bit.

Prominent racer who was well held at Chepstow last time, but that was a Class 4 event and he won that track (5f, good to firm) on his penultimate run; remains well treated on his old form and has claims if he can bounce back on this drop back in grade; acts on fast and soft ground.

Form & Verdict
Three-time C&D winner who was very close second here last month, after a break; not seen to same effect after racing wide throughout here a fortnight ago but ought to be able to seize a much better position from stall 1 today; can make his presence felt.

Form & Verdict
Denied clear run when second at Southwell on last month's seasonal debut and built on that performance when emphatic winner of 16-runner turf handicap at Thirsk a week ago; still looks well treated under 5lb penalty here and is evidently in prime form.

In fine form this term, scoring at Thirsk in April and twice in the frame off a 5lb higher mark since, fourth of 12 at Catterick (5f) 26 days ago; he merits serious consideration off an unchanged mark with this return to 6f a plus.

Maintained unbeaten Ripon record (3-3; all 5f) when seeing off Rock Of England and Mark's Choice in early July; ran respectably in Class 2 at Goodwood (5f) before toiling at Pontefract; fairly treated but effectiveness over 6f is questionable.
