Retains plenty of vitality aged ten and gamely made all over C&D (soft) last Monday, registering a tenth win at Hamilton; should remain competitive kept to this scenario, even with a 4lb penalty.

Multiple course wins and he was a close third of 11 over this C&D (good to soft) in August; well below best in two starts since, in first-time cheekpieces in the Bronze Cup at Ayr on Friday, but he's hard to rule out back on this track; further rain probably not helpful though.
