Won valuable nursery at Glorious Goodwood (6f, good to soft) just over a year ago but below that form in all three subsequent sprints, the latest in June; moves up in trip with blinkers tried here.

Form & Verdict
Sent off 11-4 joint-favourite for last month's Ripon debut (5f, soft) and showed signs of greenness, but he nonetheless kept on well to finish second of the six runners (winner followed up in the Lily Agnes at Chester on Wednesday); should have learnt from that and his experience may prove key.

Yet to win away from Tapeta, and while June's half-length second in a Doncaster handicap (6f, good to firm) represents his nearest ever miss on turf, it's been diminishing returns from him again since.

Three-time AW winner but 0-14 on turf; his last two runs on grass have offered hope that he can win a small race on fast ground though and he is one for the shortlist.

T: K R Burke

Stepped up from his debut when winning a Ripon novice (5f, good to firm) in June, but held in all three starts since including two nurseries; didn't stay 7f last time, but even if this trip may suit him better he still needs to resume his progress; soft ground remains a question mark; stable runs four.

T: K R Burke

Won his novice over 5f and hasn't improved for 6f the last twice, latterly finishing 5l off the principals on his nursery debut at York (good to soft); getting back on fast ground may help but it's hard to call him well handicapped and 7f is a grey area.
