Multiple Bath/Brighton winner but scored over C&D in 2017; mainly disappointing since last win in summer so, although he should be better for last run, is easy enough to take on.

Form & Verdict
Two front-running wins last month, the latter over 5.2f here (good to firm); behind I'm Mable when third over that trip a fortnight ago, having been ridden more patiently, but today's return to 6f won't be a problem and he remains one to be interested in.

0-5 when trained by Hughie Morrison but coped with drop to 6f when placed at Carlisle (6f, good to firm) this month; changed hands for £5,000 on Tuesday and dropped 2lb for today's stable debut; no surprise if he features.

Acts on good to firm and soft; runner-up off 7lb higher here (1m) in June but he's not come close to that form since; had an excuse when upped to 1m2f here last time but his losing run is mounting up and others look safer; change of headgear.

Yet to win for current stable but pretty consistent in recent weeks, and shaped very much as though this move back up in trip will suit when going close over 5.2f here (firm) a fortnight ago; respected.

C&D winner who didn't get much luck when a creditable third here last month and she ran into a big improver when fourth of six on her return visit 13 days ago; this is not so tough back in a classified event and she has each-way claims; acts on firm and soft ground.
