Beaten at short prices all three runs to date, including twice on Polytrack early in the year; still has some potential off a workable opening mark, having pulled his chances away latterly.

Well drawn when justifying suppport on his Ripon comeback and backed that up at the same course off his revised mark last weekend (another 1lb higher from tomorrow); both efforts came on soft ground and he'll need more again on his AW debut.

Three-time course winner, the latest when scoring comfortably over 5f last month; easy wins in successive days in early September (good to firm and heavy); now 24lb higher than when starting his winning spree and he will require another career best to overcome latest 11lb rise; certainly can't be ignored though.

Narrow win at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) in July and went very close at Nottingham (6f, heavy) next time; this is more competitive but this 3yo is not ruled out each-way now back down in distance, having run well before fading over 7f at Carlisle last Wednesday.
