Form & Verdict
Surged back to form at Doncaster (1m, soft) last week, winning easily by 3l; back up 7lb in the weights but that still leaves him attractively treated judged on the pick of his form from last year; won this race in 2021 and 2022 and has a first-rate opportunity to make it three on the bounce.

A bit underwhelming at Hamilton a fortnight ago but went there in good form, having won at Musselburgh (1m, good) previously; has won over C&D on soft ground and can be a contender if leaving latest run behind.

This is his time of year and, after a close second over C&D (good) last month, he went one better at Musselburgh (1m, good) last Tuesday; fully at home on slow ground and firmly in calculations under a 4lb penalty.

Three-time C&D winner, including on soft ground; creditable third of eight at Haydock in June and again gave his running when fifth at Newcastle on Thursday; more persuasive than many.

Bred to be useful but his record is 0-24, and no real promise in two runs since joining his current yard; tumbling in the weights but needs to rediscover his spark.

Belatedly off the mark with a wide-margin win at Thirsk (1m4f, soft) in the hands of William Pyle; ran a bit flat when only fourth at Hamilton after escaping a penalty and now he's 5lb higher; that Thirsk win might be dodgy form.
