Has run well over C&D, including when a close third in this race 12 months ago, but the track doesn't always lend itself to his hold-up style; drawn widest and could prove vulnerable, for all he is attractively weighted.

Won first two 5f handicaps, in April and May (soft and good to soft), including over C&D; hasn't had a great second half of the year, however, and after running better than the bare result at Ayr last month he was well adrift at Catterick since; could still go well if the mood takes.

Equally effective over 6f-7f, even though both career wins have come over today's 5f trip (Class 6); lost his way after finishing in the frame in a selling handicap at Hamilton in July, but his latest Ayr effort (ninth of 20; first-time visor) was more encouraging; 2lb above last winning mark.
