Ex-Irish maiden; career-best effort when pulling clear with a thriving rival at Carlisle last week (6f, good to firm; Thaki back in third); well treated on that evidence and he's a key player.

Placed in 7-14 starts, including when a close third over C&D (good to firm; 3lb higher) in June; not as good when visored at Beverley next time or back over C&D latest; cheekpieces go back on; handy mark; not written off.

Led close home to win C&D claimer last month, his third start for Archie Watson, but probably doesn't have much margin for error off current handicap mark and was soundly beaten on turf a fortnight later; swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers today.

T: Jim Goldie

Can be slowly away, which would be costly now back down in trip, and he's done all of his winning over 7f-plus; however, a fast-run race in a big field over 6f could play to this hold-up horse's strengths, and he arrives in good form having won at Southwell (7f, AW) recently; has won here twice.

Finished last in three quick runs in 7f novice/maiden events last summer when trained by Mick Channon, but he wasn't beaten far at Catterick on the final occasion; not obviously well treated ahead of his stable/handicap debut and the drop to 6f isn't sure to suit either.
