Has done well for shrewd current connections and scored at Wolverhampton (9.5f) last time, taking AW record to 3-4; only 1-11 on turf but the win came on most recent attempt in this sphere; steadily progressive and enters calculations.

Rediscovered his spark this summer, recording comfortable successes at Kempton (1m3f) and Sandown (1m2f, good); could only manage second of the five runners at Goodwood 12 days ago but soft ground may not have been ideal; on the downside, his new 9lb higher mark has kicked in.

Five-time course winner, but he's never scored beyond 1m2f and his last success was in November 2023; well handicapped on his old form but he's been well held in last four starts and latest was over 1m6f here last month; opposable.

In top form when racking up a hat-trick last summer and back at that level when third over 1m2f at Newcastle (AW) and Chepstow (good to soft) this summer; never a threat after a slow start at Southwell last time but more than capable off this mark and Oisin Murphy takes the reins.

Useful in previous incarnation over longer trips; on handy mark now and after running fast for a long way over C&D (first 6f run) in September he won with plenty to spare at Musselburgh (7f; visor off) last week; the ability is there to make light of a 4lb penalty.

Poorly drawn and endured a wide trip when last of 11 here last month, but ran well either side as when fourth of 11 in a slowly run contest at Lingfield (1m2f, Polytrack) four weeks ago; both wins have come over C&D and he is back off the same mark as when taking this last year; interesting.
