Form & Verdict
Gained both wins over 1m4f on good ground at Ripon last summer; probably not suited by the soft ground when making low-key seasonal return last month; current mark is workable if that outing did him good.

Strong finish from rear secured the Chester Plate (2m2f, good) last May off 3lb higher and he also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his four efforts this season a long way behind him, however.

Strong finish from the rear secured this prize last year (good ground) off 1lb lower than today, but also from stall 4 compared to today's stall 16; also won over 1m4f on soft at Catterick in October; needs to leave his two efforts this season (1m4f, good) a long way behind him but this may be a much more favourable scenario if the draw does not scupper him.

Form & Verdict
Won this race a year ago and needed only to be pushed out to score off 3lb lower over C&D (good) at start of this month; raced too freely and was disappointing favourite at Hamilton on Wednesday but has strong claims if all goes to plan here.
