6 yo Gelding

Form & Verdict
Two years since he won but he's enjoyed a consistent summer aside from his forgivable Catterick flop; has gone close a couple of times round here before too and will be happier back up from 1m6f, so has major claims.

Form & Verdict
Half-brother to very useful stayer Coltrane; one of three to come away, along with Spantik, when he wore first-time blinkers 17 days ago; didn't look straightforward there but is well up to winning at this level now upped from 1m6f.

Patchy campaign this season and needs to raise his game, but he's dropped down the weights and last year's best efforts came in blinkers, which go back on this evening (replacing cheekpieces); not discounted.

Yet to win (12 races) and not the easiest of rides but he's been on the premises plenty of times at 1m6f-2m, including when cheekpieces were installed at this track (claimer ridden) and Nottingham on last two outings; good each-way claims.

Win here last August came off a 4lb lower mark and he's paid for his consistency this summer; showed this trip is within range last month and is more likely than most at this level to give his running but needs to find a bit more from somewhere.

Heavily supported ahead of his handicap debut recently (first run for this yard); built on that back to novice company last Monday and, while he has stamina to prove (far from certain on pedigree), he's obviously felt capable off this mark.

Well held after racing too freely at Haydock (11.6f) recently and now 0-20 but ran quite well when fourth under Lauren Frost on last month's stable debut at Pontefract (1m2f, good to firm), and his jockey (three wins from 35 rides under rules) is by far the most experienced in this race.
