Narrow win at Hamilton (6f, good to soft) in July and went very close at Nottingham (6f, heavy) next time; this is more competitive but this 3yo is not ruled out each-way now back down in distance, having run well before fading over 7f at Carlisle last Wednesday.

Tends to lead and he made all to beat 18 rivals in this race (good to firm) 12 months ago; bubbling under this season, beaten off only late on at Doncaster last Friday; won't mind if rain softens the ground (used to be considered a mud-lover); should make a bold bid for a repeat success.

He was having a rare run over 1m when landing a Salisbury handicap in September (for Molly Stratton) in September, getting up late on; no so good back at that track over 6f five weeks ago but he's a better horse on AW and he races here off a 10lb lower mark than when last tackling AW (recorded RPR of 87 when sixth in a Class 2 at Chelmsford last summer); more appealing than many.
