Form & Verdict
Back to form when runner-up at Haydock in April (3m1f, good to soft) and although 2m7f on Huntingdon's sharp track was never going to be ideal in another veterans' race in November he did well to stay on into second behind a well-treated rival; has a good course record and this is likely to be run to suit; solid chance.

Form & Verdict
Losing run goes back to last December but he came on plenty for an Exeter run in October when close up over C&D next time; well held in better company at Ascot since but weighted to go well back here and has won two of the last four runnings of this race (soft and good to soft).
