Inconsistent and can have issues in the stalls, which proved a problem when a well-beaten favourite at Beverley on Wednesday (reared at the start and blindfold was removed late); however, he's well handicapped on last year's two fast-ground wins and is capable of a bold show.

Handles most ground and both his wins have come at this track (5f); only 1lb higher than for his close second here in July and he made a decent start for this yard when a rallying second of four at Brighton (6f, soft) two weeks ago; now goes back up in grade but he's not ruled out.

Two 5f wins for Tom Clover last season, including a Goodwood handicap off this mark; best run for new connections when second of eight in an Ayr handicap last week (5f, good; tongue-tied for the first time); dangerous if he can reproduce that on today's ground (untried on faster than good).
