Prone to off days but he showed his best side when snatching a 7f Lingfield handicap near the line last month and on that showing, assuming he turns up in the same form, he ought to cope with the extra furlong.

Seems equally effective over 7f or 1m; back on a mark he can win off and was noted doing some nice late work in race he'd won the previous year over the shorter trip of 7f last time; draw for this prominent racer could have been kinder.
